The Morning Score: Wednesday

Here’s everything you need to know before work – apart from how we’re still hanging in there for Ukraine and Poland.

1. #EURO2012 Richard Dunne turned in a memorable performance at the centre of a beleaguered Ireland defence last night as Ireland snatched an unlikely scoreless draw against Russia in Moscow.

Read how it happened here, check out the best images, and catch up with what unfolded in an incredible Slovakia-Armenia game.

Ireland’s U-2s were beaten 1-0 away to Turkey.

2. #GAA It was a day of upheaval or hurling managers and their counties yesterday.

Leeside legend Jimmy Barry Murphy was unanimously approved by Cork GAA delegates. He has a three-year term with the Rebels.

Meanwhile, Davy Fitzgerald revealed he would not be continuing with Waterford while Donal O’Grady was true to his promise to walk away from Limerick after a single season.

3. #RWC2011 New Zealand have named their side for the tournament opener with Tonga on Friday.

And Sonny Bill Williams gets his chance to shine. The 26-year-old was the surprise inclusion at inside centre for the All Blacks’ first World Cup game.

4. #TRAGEDY A 44-year-old Wales fan died during crowd trouble prior England’s 1-0 at Wembley last night.

5. #HOOPS A decision on the venue for Shamrock Rovers’ Europa League group games is now expected from UEFA today following yesterday’s inspection in Tallaght. We’ll let you know.

7. #HERO Marry me Richard Dunne, you magnificent man.
