O'Malley unfazed by enormous challenge
Eoin O'Malley, the man expected to fill Brian O’Driscoll’s boots for Sunday’s Heineken Cup game with Clermont, is set to face the toughest test of his fledgling career when he faces French giant Aurelian Rougerie in midfield.
O’Driscoll suffered a jaw injury in Ireland’s final Autumn test game with Argentina in November, and O’Malley will be expected to go toe-to-toe with the enormous Clermont three-quarter.
