Eddie’s scrum-half dilemma rages on

EOIN REDDAN or Peter Stringer as Ireland’s scrum-half? That’s a conundrum fixating Ireland’s rugby public since September 17 when Eddie O’Sullivan named Reddan ahead of Stringer for the crucial World Cup clash with France.

While the issue hasn’t assumed the proportions of the Ollie Campbell/Tony Ward controversy, there is no lack of debate.

Reddan is in pole position after promising performances in the Six Nations, yet ironically his change of circumstance may be due to Stringer’s number one berth with Munster.
