Boss set to fight for place

THE competition for scrum-half places in Declan Kidney’s rugby World Cup squad is intensifying but Isaac Boss is relishing the battle for places over the next four weeks of intense preparation for the tournament.

Boss faces huge competition from Eoin Reddan, Tomás O’Leary, Peter Stringer and young Conor Murray, but he is not daunted. He has been through the mill before and understands Ireland are blessed with quality players in his position.

But he feels he has the credentials to make it following his move from Ulster last season.
