Belief the key as Deasy kicking on

UNSHAKEABLE confidence in your own ability is a pre-requisite for any aspiring professional rugby player, so it’s little wonder that Scott Deasy’s upward mobility continues apace.

The 21-year-old former Presentation Brothers Cork star-in-waiting carries a quiet belief that he has the raw materials at his disposal to become a future fulcrum of the Munster backline.

Take his performance in the Magners League encounter against Edinburgh at Musgrave Park in February, when he was thrust into the fray at out-half early on, as a replacement for the injured Paul Warwick.
