EOIN REDDAN made GAA headquarters his stage on Saturday and was one of the few positives from another nightmarish day for Irish rugby.

The crowd, numbed by a staid contest and horrified by what seemed like a flashback to the performances against Namibia and Georgia last September, needed someone to rise above the mediocrity on show.

Reddan provided the lift they required.
