Unforced errors frustrating O’Callaghan

LAST week it was Julien Pierre and Romain Millo-Chluski. Today it is Pascal Pape and Lionel Nallet.

A tough station has just become tougher for Ireland’s locks but Donncha O’Callaghan’s focus this week has been largely internal.

The usual clamour to swot up on the opposing forces ahead of a Test has been tempered somewhat with the World Cup looming over the horizon next month and, anyway, Ireland’s pack was given enough homework to do in Bordeaux seven days ago.
