Leamy in the dock as O’Driscoll escapes citing

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN’S Six Nations preparations for Saturday’s daunting trip to Paris have been hit by a citing charge against back-row Denis Leamy — but Ireland will be skippered by Brian O’Driscoll after he escaped a similar charge in the wake of the victory over Italy.

Match commissioner Rob Flockhart did not mention any O’Driscoll stamping incident in his match report, despite Italian claims regarding an incident also involving hooker Fabio

Ongaro.
