O’Leary’s Croker mission

FOR anyone with even remote links to the GAA, a lifetime achievement could constitute a single appearance on the hallowed ground of Croke Park.

Next week, Tomás O’Leary is due to make what in all probability will be his last appearance at the venue – in rugby anyway – and he is hell bent on making it a day to remember.

With the Triple Crown and possibly another RBS Six Nations title on the line, losing to Scotland isn’t an option and he will begin preparing himself mentally and physically for that challenge from today.
