Baba black sheep returns to flock

KEITH GLEESON is fortunate he is available to play for Ireland against world champions Australia at Lansdowne Road on Saturday.

An IRB decision four years ago, not to mention a coincidental split between the ARU and the Australian Barbarians has given Gleeson the green light to represent Eddie O’Sullivan’s side this weekend.

Gleeson was born in Ireland but grew up in Australia and played for that country at U19 and U21 levels.
