Cunningham withdraws from Ireland squad

Last updated : 29 April 2003 By Brian Cartlidge

The Blues centre-back and Ireland skipper has been struggling with a groin strain for the last month and has been unable to train properly before games and in an effort to protect the injury he has withdrawn from the squad for the game at Landsdowne Road.

Cunningham should however, be fit for Blues final away game of the season at Newcastle on Saturday.
