Reddan puts faith in Sexton

EOIN REDDAN has seen some outstanding number 10s waiting outside him, hands extended for him to whip the ball out from scrum or ruck.

He served his apprenticeship in Munster, working with Ronan O’Gara; at Wasps he had Danny Cipriani as a colleague. Now he’s got Jonathan Sexton for company. Reddan’s well placed to comment on the young man.

“I think he’s brilliant, a great player. I wouldn’t have any worries about him. I really enjoy playing with him, he’s not afraid to have a say, which is very important for an out-half, to be able to have a cut off people if things aren’t going well. I just think overall he’s going well and it’s great.”
