Town’s Owen Garvan skippered the Republic of Ireland U21s and played the full 90 minutes as his side drew 1-1 with Georgia in a European U21 Championships qualifier in Dublin last night. Garvan was winning his 12th cap at U21 level.

Georgia’s Giorgi Ivanishvili netted a minute from time to deny the Irish their first win of the campaign, Blackburn’s Alan Judge having put the home side in front in the first half. The Irish U21s face Switzerland in Waterford on Tuesday.

Later today, Carlos Edwards and Tamás Priskin could add to their haul of international caps. Priskin’s Hungarians, who have a slim chance of qualification for the World Cup, face Portugal today and Denmark on Wednesday. The striker has previously won 21 caps, scoring eight goals.

Edwards’s Trinidad and Tobago have no chance of qualification and complete their fixtures with games against Costa Rica today and Mexico on Wednesday. The midfielder has previously won 76 full international caps and has scored four goals.

Gareth McAuley’s Northern Ireland side are without a game over the weekend but face a World Cup qualifier in the Czech Republic on Wednesday, a match they have to win to stand any chance of reaching South Africa. The central defender has previously won 19 caps and has scored one international goal.

England’s game in Ukraine is not being shown on live TV but is available online for free on Bet365, full details on their site, or for £11.99 here.

jas0999 added 17:51 - Oct 11 Re Rhodes - he is playing at a LOWER level. Who knows if he would have scored goals for us. More importantly, who knows the circumstances of the sale - we have been over this time and time again - it may have been out of Keane's hands. Let not forget JM sacked Jordan's Dad . . . As for Garvan - again none of us know the circumstances for him being dropped - his performances this season have been awful though IMO. However, a Garvan / Leadbitter partnership sounds good to me (until Norris returns). Actually, who else likes the idea of a Edwards, Leadbitter, Norris, Civelli midfield?

dubblue added 17:24 - Oct 12 What is important is that he get's first team experience, if does not get the chance before Norris returns then I think he needs a spell on loan. He is certainly a good passer but needs consistency and a bit of bite!
