The Naas man comes in for his Six Nations debut against Wales this afternoon.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Cardiff IT’S NOT THAT long ago that Ireland fans stressed about what would happen if Hugo Keenan was struck down by injury.

“But Jamie did a brilliant job in the summer in South Africa, so we know he’s got those qualities as well. Osborne played in midfield twice in November. Billy Stickland / INPHO Billy Stickland / INPHO / INPHO
