Sheridan braced for tough Ulster test

The 23-year-old redhead sounds like a sport psychologist’s dream.

Throw any question you like at Cathal Sheridan, Munster’s emerging scrum-half, and he doesn’t seem in the slightest way nonplussed. For instance, suggest to him that he could never have visualised being a Munster star growing up some 150 miles away in Sligo.

“The difference between visualising it and becoming it are two very different things,” he states. “You always throw on the red top and kick a ball out the back. Whether you believe you are going to do it one day is a different thing. You keep the child in you in that aspect.”
