Keith Wood: Leinster more threatening with Reddan

Keith Wood believes Leinster would be more of an attacking threat if they started scrum-half Eoin Reddan more often.

The province's European campaign came to an end yesterday as they suffered an extra-time defeat to Toulon.

Speaking from Marseille as a co-commentator on Off The Ball, Keith believes Toulon were unimpressive, but that Leinster played into their hands and should start with Reddan, who came on as a replacement.

 

"Leinster played into that a little bit and in some respects, the selection played into that. I think Leinster look a far more threatening side when Eoin Reddan plays at 9," he said.

Meanwhile, Liam Toland felt Leinster tried to play the percentages in Marseille, but that "often times their percentages were poor".

"There's certainly a concept of how they're playing the game that was very stunted and they ignored an awful lot of opportunity. They know that Toulon team were there to be beaten. They know they could have asked more questions of Toulon," he said.
