Wizard of Oz Irankunda provides sting for Hornets

- BY MIKE WALTERS

FLIPPING marvel Nestory Irankunda is turning Australia's World Cup plans upside down after falling head over heels in love with Watford.

For the second week running, Irankunda’s set-piece magic earned Hornets a point - and his somersault celebration with fellow scorer Kwadwo Baah left head coach Paulo Pezzolano (right) joking: “We can send him to the Olympics.”

Irankunda has been recalled by the Aussies for their doubleheader Down Under against New Zealand, a clash dubbed the Soccer Ashes.
