O’Kelly wants glory days to continue

BYRON KELLEHER is 33, Malcolm O’Kelly 35, and, such is the talent available to their respective coaches ahead of Saturday’s Heineken Cup semi-final between Toulouse and Leinster, there is every chance neither will start.

But when it comes to the business end of what promises to be a thrilling encounter, the wise betting is on both to be there, lending their vast experience and expertise.

O’Kelly was there when it all kicked-off 15 years ago — and the Irish international lock rates Leinster’s sensational 41-35 quarter-final win against Toulouse at Le Stadium in 2006 as “right up there as one of my top three Heineken Cup memories.”
