Andy Rinomhota made his international debut this afternoon, starting in Zimbabwe's 1-1 draw with Jamilu Collins' Nigeria.

Rinomhota was handed the No.10 shirt, prompting fellow Bluebird Kion Etete to brand him AR10 on Instagram, a nod at Aaron Ramsey's initials and number at Cardiff, and started in midfield alongside Luton Town midfielder Marvelous Nakamba. Collins began the match on the bench for the Super Eagles and was brought on in the 85th minute. Unfortunately, Rinomhota had been brought off three minutes earlier. The match ended 1-1.

Elsewhere on the international front, Callum Robinson started for the Republic of Ireland last night, but was hauled off at half time in the 1-0 defeat by the Netherlands.




Neither Dimitrios Goutas nor Manolis Siopis were involved in Greece's first match of the break, a 2-0 friendly win over New Zealand. They don't play again until Tuesday, when they take on France. Alex Runar Runarsson was on the bench for Iceland's 3-2 defeat by Slovakia on November 16. He will hope to be selected for tonight's Euro qualifier against Portugal.

Ebou Adams featured for the first half of Gambia's 3-2 defeat by Burundi on Thursday, however, with his next future hopefully coming against the Ivory Coast tomorrow. Romaine Sawyers started St Kitts and Nevis' goalless draw with St Lucia on Thursday. They take on Guadeloupe tonight.

At youth level , Rubin Colwill, Tom Davies and Eli King all played in Wales Under-21s' 1-0 win over Iceland, usurping them at the summit of the group in their Euro qualifier.
