Eddie content the game served its purpose

EDDIE O’SULLIVAN’S Irish coaching record is second to none and he is a self confessed winning freak.

Ireland, having lost three successive matches, away twice to Argentina and now to Scotland, should freak O’Sullivan out.

Not so. He appears to be looking at the bigger picture; acknowledging that his second string Irish side deserved their 31-21 defeat at Murrayfield but also pointing out that he gained some answers to vital questions.
