O’Sullivan makes the big calls

IRELAND coach Eddie O’Sullivan’s new squad was the centre of attention yesterday, with the inclusion of Munster players past and present a major talking point.

O’Sullivan acknowledged that Wasps scrum-half Eoin Reddan had “forced his way” into the reckoning, as has Munster back row David Wallace.

Speaking at the launch of the Six Nations tournament in London, O’Sullivan pointed to Reddan’s skills and maturity as the reasons for the former Munster and Connacht player’s inclusion.
