Cosgrove and Handforth in Ireland squad

DEWSBURY Rams centre Elliot Cosgrove and former Batley Bulldogs stand-off Paul Handforth were part of the Ireland squad who were beaten 34-16 in the Autumn International series last Saturday.

Ireland led after 65 minutes before a late rally from the French saw them snatch victory in front of a record Irish crowd of 3,100 in a game refereed by Mirfield’s Richard Silverwood.
