O’Sullivan rallies troops for tests

IRISH coach Eddie O’Sullivan has promised to “throw the kitchen sink” at all three opponents in the autumn internationals at Lansdowne Road.

First into the firing line will be South Africa (November 11), Australia (November 19) and finally the composite side of Fiji/Samoa/Tonga (November 26).

The coach, often accused of being conservative in his rotation policy, is unlikely to make any major changes against the Springboks, but he is keeping his options open for the remaining two games.
