Coach keeps fans guessing

THOSE of us who believed we could read Eddie O’Sullivan’s mind were given a rude awakening yesterday when he named his side to take on Argentina in the most crucial match of all in Pool A of the World Cup at the Adelaide Oval next Sunday.

It was only during the morning training session that we realised that the back-row was about to be drastically altered and not just because Anthony Foley couldn't be considered because of injury.

O'Sullivan lined up his A team with Victor Costello in Foley's number eight position with Alan Quinlan at number seven and Simon Easterby on the blind side.
