FIRST THINGS FIRST, there is the Ben Healy/Scotland issue. Glasgow want him; Munster can’t even begin to consider losing him. Big problem, easy solution as far as Eddie O’Sullivan is concerned. “This really is quite simple,” the former Ireland coach says. “If he is good enough, you back the kid. Make him your No1 out-half, pick him to start the big games such as last week’s Champions Cup tie against Harlequins, then pay him the money he is worth. If you don’t think he’s that good, let him go. But don’t mess about if you think he’s up to it. Pick him, play him, pay him.”
