Opportunity knocks for talented Deasy

Scott Deasy hopes to take the first major step in proving he can be a successor to his hero, Ronan O’Gara, in the British & Irish Cup final against Cross Keys at Musgrave Park this evening (5.30pm).

The circle has turned fully for Deasy who played out-half in school but mainly full back, centre and wing through his time in University College Cork and Munster as an Academy, Development and now full-time contracted player.

He’s back to where he wants to be; at 23 he has learned to be patient and figures he can mount a challenge to ultimately make his name as a quality representative number 10.
