Grand Slam glory is within Ireland’s reach, says O’Sullivan

FORMER Ireland head coach, Eddie O’Sullivan, reckons Ireland are good enough to win a second Six Nations Grand Slam in three years.

This year’s Championship looks more evenly balanced than any other in a very long time, but O’Sullivan thinks that if Ireland can win their first two matches against Italy and France, they’ll have a great chance of sweeping the boards.

“It’s wide open competition and a lot depends on what happens in the first two or three games. If you get on a roll, then anything is possible,” said O’Sullivan yesterday at the launch of the new website www.ruckingball.com.
