“We Want To End Croke Park Residency On A High” – Jamie Heaslip

This weekend Ireland will play in Croke Park for the last time in their RBS Six Nations meeting with Scotland. The stakes in this match will be very high, with the opportunity of winning the Triple Crown and possibly the Championship, depending on how Grandslam hopefuls France do against England. Yesterday Declan Kidney named an un-changed side from the one that beat Wales at GAA headquarters last week admitting that naming the same team was a very hard choice to make because the whole squad had done extremely well in training. Playing in Croke Park over the last number of years has left the players with some truly great memories. One player who will always have a fond memory of playing there is Jamie Heaslip who last year scored a crucial try in the win over France which paved the way for Ireland to go on and win the Grandslam.

Sportspeak caught up with the Leinster number eight, who said he wants to end the residency of Croke Park on a high note.
