Kearney and Fitzgerald get Ireland call-ups

Leinster's young backs Robert Kearney and Luke Fitzgerald have been called up to the Irish squad for the September mini training camp.

Leinster's young backs Robert Kearney and Luke Fitzgerald have been called up to the Irish squad for the September mini training camp.

The sensational news comes on the heels of the withdrawals of Munster duo John Kelly and Anthony Horgan, who have been knocked out of the equation by an Achilles and hand injury respectively.

Fitzgerald made a sparkling home debut for Leinster on the right wing against Cardiff on Saturday night and Kearney was a rock of sense at full back.

Clearly, Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan sees Kearney and Fitzgerald as possible players for the World Cup in France next year.
