RugbyU: Ireland wait on Jackson ahead of France clash

March 5, 2013 11:16
Under-pressure Ireland coach Declan Kidney named Tuesday a team to play France without a starting or reserve fly-half as he waited on the fitness of Paddy Jackson. Jackson has a tight hamstring which an Ireland team statement said Tuesday was "being carefully monitored during training this morning" ahead of Saturday's match at Dublin's Lansdowne Road. The 21-year-old Ulster stand-off made his Test debut in Ireland's previous match, an 11-8 loss to Scotland at Murrayfield last month where the visitors failed to secure victory despite dominating possession and territory.
