Reddan’s return lifts Blues

Ireland scrum-half Eoin Reddan will play his first game since his horrific leg break against France in the Six Nations when Leinster take on Northampton tomorrow.

Five-and-a-half months on from breaking his fibula and tearing ligaments, Reddan (32) is primed to play some part in the Donnybrook friendly clash and new head coach Matt O’Connor is excited by his return.

“Eoin is good, he should play against Saints at the weekend. I think it wasn’t as serious as first thought, the break. He has worked really hard, he has rehabbed really well,” said O’Connor.
