Kelly: Irish rugby team need mindset of Kerry footballers

Director of Ireland's Institute of Sport and former GAA President Sean Kelly has spoken out about the Irish rugby team saying that they need to adapt the mindset of the 2007 All-Ireland Senior Football Champions if they are to progress at the World Cup in France.

Several parallels can be drawn between the reviews of performances by Eddie O’ Sullivan's side and the Kerry team earlier this season when both were harshly criticised.

Sean Kelly said that the rugby team need to harness the comments made to help secure a win against the French tomorrow night.
