Reddan urges fringe players to seize opportunity

ANOTHER week, another anxious wait on the fitness of Brian O’Driscoll and it seems as though Leinster will wait until the last minute before deciding whether their number 13 is fit to face Clermont Auvergne at the Stade Marcel Michelin on Sunday.

The odds are heavily against.

Joe Schmidt has until Friday to decide on O’Driscoll who cracked a cheekbone against Argentina. He is already without Rob Kearney and Luke Fitzgerald although Jamie Heaslip, Cian Healy, Isaac Boss and Jason Harris-Wright are available after missing the draw with Scarlets.
