'I feel like I have plenty to give' - Sinclair Armstrong on a whirlwind few days

Republic of Ireland striker Sinclair Armstrong reflected on an emotional few days after unexpectedly earning his first senior cap and then getting on target for the U21 side.

The 20-year old QPR attacker made his senior debut against Netherlands last Sunday night, being introduced in the closing minutes as Ireland chased an equaliser.

He subsequently linked back in with the U21s, leading the line in the 3-0 win against San Marino, laying on the first goal for Rocco Vata and then finally, after numerous close shave, forcing home the third himself from (very) close range in the second half.

"It's been a whirlwind few days," Armstrong said, in conversation the RTÉ Soccer panel post-game.

"On Friday morning, I'm thinking I'm going to play my first game with the 21s. And next thing, the gaffer Mr Crawford tells me, you're going to the senior team.

"Very emotional on the journey up to Castleknock. It's something I've dreamed of since I was a kid, to play with the Ireland senior team. It's a dream come true."
