RUGBY UNION BETTING: Ireland, 9/4 second favs to retain their Six Nations crown at Stan James, have recalled record points scorer Ronan O’Gara for their opener against Italy at Croke Park.
Leinster’s Jonathan Sexton starred for the Irish during the Autumn internationals but has been ruled out due to a dead leg, giving Munster ace O’Gara a chance to reclaim the number 10 jersey.
Coach Declan Kidney, who led Ireland (10/11 with -20 in the match handicap) to the Six Nations title last year, has made three other changes to the side that beat the world champions South Africa in November.
