Steadman key to unlocking Ireland

IF knowing your enemy is the key to sporting success, then Scotland hold a major advantage ahead of Saturday’s Six Nations clash with unbeaten Ireland.

For a start, the hosts have Mike Brewer, who knows all about the Leinster players after working as the province’s forwards coach until last summer.

But they also have Graham Steadman, the man who designed Ireland’s defensive strategy and must, therefore, be in a perfect position to show the Scots how to unpick it.
