Mental approach key for Ian Madigan

It seems as though there is no end to Ian Madigan’s talents.

An out-half by trade, he expanded his remit to include first-centre and full-back before a summer in which he would dabble in the business of scrum-halfing and ended with the 26-year old serving as cover to Conor Murray and Eoin Reddan in Ireland’s World Cup squad.

Such versatility is commonplace in other countries, Australia being particularly au fait with the notion of players operating under different department headings, but Madigan’s many hats have been quite the story here at provincial, and now national, level.
