Johnny Holland or Ian Keatley? Anthony Foley weighs up his options

Holland or Keatley?

That’s one of the big decisions confronting Munster head coach Anthony Foley as he considers his out-half options for Saturday’s vital Guinness Pro 12 game against Connacht at the Galway Sportsground.

Foley surprised many observers when he preferred Johnny Holland to the vastly more experienced Ian Keatley for the recent game against Leinster. The Cork Con man fully justified his selection and duly scored all his side’s points in a 16-13 defeat. However, with some 20 minutes to go, Foley called him ashore and sent Keatley into the heat of battle. The game ended in Leinster’s favour and the coach’s call came in for severe criticism in some quarters.
