Cullen moves on from the England downer

LEO CULLEN describes it as the worst news he ever had to take.

After playing some part in each of the ten games that Eddie O'Sullivan's side went unbeaten, he was brought to one side and told he would play no part in the Grand Slam decider against England the biggest game in Irish rugby history.

Gutted. Cullen could feel his heart wrench. Even now, weeks later, he grimaces at the memory.
