The Celtic game is a priority

RABO DIRECT PRO12

Apprehensive is not a word that Leinster and Ireland scrum-half Eoin Reddan would use when discussing the future of the European game on the back of the demise of the Heineken Cup but he believes everyone has to be aware of the way things have changed and to be ready to adjust.

The 33-year-old Limerick man makes no secret of his desire to see the closing stages of the Pro12 over two of the next three weekends portray the game in the Celtic countries in a very positive light and that it won’t be outshone by the English and French when the European Club Championship comes on stream next season.
