Speaking during an interview on Today FM’s Savage Sunday this morning, Kerr said:
“Ireland need the points to help us get through. Look, you know, I’ll be honest about this: I will have a lot of time for the Faroes in the match.
“I was close to the lads. They gave so much in terms of the effort and graft they gave”.
