Jamie Osborne helping to hold the backline as Ireland look for rhythm

Ireland have put together impressive scores in every game this season. Stitching more of those moments together through the 80 minutes is the next step.

Guys like Jamie Osborne are gold dust. Add in a testing injury list that includes your world-class full-back, and assorted other questions over form and fitness elsewhere in the back line, and that value rockets.

Osborne wore every jersey from No.11 to 15 for Leinster last season. He has played at outside-centre, on the wing and at the back for his country. Not a surprise, then, that he is still being asked which might be his favourite position.
