Hanrahan ready to take plunge again after shaking off sinking feeling

Decision-making may be JJ Hanrahan’s vocation as a Munster fly-half, but the 21-year-old Kerryman has become adept at making the right calls off the pitch as he negotiates the pitfalls of a fledgling professional career.

This season, as his province adjusts to life without Ronan O’Gara, Hanrahan has been attempting to establish himself as a viable alternative to the more experienced newly-installed first-choice out-half Ian Keatley.

Hanrahan will get another opportunity to do so this Saturday night when Munster resume their RaboDirect Pro12 title bid away to Cardiff Blues with Keatley ruled out with a groin/hip injury.
