Boss stays on Kidney’s radar

THE Six Nations may be king but another round of Magners League fixtures are also on the agenda this weekend and, with them, the opportunity for some to catch Declan Kidney’s eye.

Among them will be scrum-half Isaac Boss who, with all the talk surrounding the triangle of Tomás O’Leary, Eoin Reddan and Peter Stringer for the green number nine jersey, has become something of a forgotten man in the international debate.

Boss’ lack of Test input hasn’t been mirrored at club level where, despite the assumption that he was signed from Ulster last summer as a back-up to Reddan, he has been afforded regular game time and starts in both the Magners League and Heineken Cup.
