Ireland must stop Genia dictating tempo

The decisive match-ups

1. Sexton and Reddan v Cooper and Genia

With Owen Farrell starting at out-half against the Queensland Reds in Quade Cooper’s only appearance against the 2013 Lions, Jonny Sexton had to satisfy himself with a cameo role against the much maligned Wallaby that day. Today at the Aviva Stadium, both Sexton and Cooper take centre stage and will play key roles in the fortunes of their respective teams.
