Derby County have had four players away on international duty during the last week.


Conor Hourihane and Jason Knight were both representing the senior Republic of Ireland side whilst Eiran Cashin was called up to the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad.

Young midfielder Darren Robinson was also in action across three fixtures for Northern Ireland Under-19s.

Here’s a look at how they all got on…

Conor Hourihane and Jason Knight


It was a mixed bag for Rams’ midfield duo Hourihane and Knight who were both called up to represent the senior Republic of Ireland side for the UEFA Nations League match-ups.

Knight started both games for the Boys in Green, playing a total of 166 minutes including the full 90 in defeat to Scotland.

Hourihane on the other hand played no part in the Scotland game but was brought on as an early second-half substitute against Armenia, helping the team to a dramatic last minute 3-2 victory over Armenia.

Eiran Cashin


Cashin started both games for Republic of Ireland Under-21s as they took on Israel home and away in a bid to qualify for the European Championships.

He played the full 90 minutes in the 1-1 draw in Dublin and then again in the 0-0 draw in Tel Aviv.

Cashin was substituted as the game in Israel went to extra-time and then watched on as it entered penalties.

Sadly, it wasn’t to be for the young Boys in Green whom fell to a heartbreaking 3-1 defeat on spot kicks.

Darren Robinson

Robinson played every minute of Northern Ireland Under-19s’ three UEFA European U19 Qualification games, helping the side reach the Elite Round of the qualifiers.

The midfielder proved to be a pivotal cog in the wheel of the young Green and White Army as they landed two draws and a win to ensure a second placed finish in the group.

A 2-2 draw with Slovenia in game one was followed up by a solid 0-0 draw against Netherlands before a 2-0 victory over Moldova secured passage through to the Elite Round.
