Hilarious video of school children putting Irish football stars to the test

Young students from St. Oliver Plunkett School, Malahide, had Richard Dunne and his teammates on the ropes.

THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND footballers should be severely tested by Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his Swedish teammates at Lansdowne Road this evening. Irish fans should fear not, however, as they have been well conditioned for pressure.

Richard Dunne, David Forde and Conor Sammon were put through the quizzical wringer in Ireland camp this week. The trio took part in a Mastermind-style quiz that was carried out with two students from St. Oliver Plunkett School, Malahide.

Matthew Nolan, 9, and Matthew Hanley, 8, found out if what the players thought of Thierry Henry, and if they knew the words to the national anthem. Keep an eye out for a 74-year-old Italian maestro who fancies his general knowledge chances.
