Kidney likely to go with tried and tested again

AFTER Ronan O’Gara’s man-of-the-match performance against Scotland, Declan Kidney is left scratching his head as to how best deal with his two outstanding out-half candidates for Saturday’s clash with Wales in Cardiff.

O’Gara was acclaimed for his performance chiefly due to the brilliant manner in which he helped his side dominate territorially. Once again he demonstrated he has few peers when it comes to playing the corners.

However, just as O’Gara has proven for 11 years that he can deliver in most other facets, his challenger, Jonny Sexton is rapidly developing into a number 10 of international quality.
