Connor Fahy’s power game should complement the playmaking ability of first-time starter Gene O’Leary Kareem against Scotland.
Gavan Casey IRELAND U20S RAN into mightier specimens and came up short against England in their Six Nations opener at Musgrave Park.
That the change yielded little for Ireland was certainly not the fault of the former PBC captain, who had precious little to work with as Mark Mapletoft’s England finished over the top of the hosts. Ironically, the man opposite O’Leary Kareem in Nenagh that day will today become his starting Ireland midfield partner: Connor Fahy begins at inside centre against Scotland tonight at Edinburgh’s Hive Stadium .
Those who caught O’Leary Kareem’s Pres team in last year’s Munster Schools Senior Cup will know the scéal. This Ireland duo is very similar in profile to that of Ger Burke’s cup-winning midfield, where O’Leary Kareem did wreck outside a genuine power athlete in James O’Leary, his first cousin and Pres’ SCT skipper this year.
