approach would be unworkable and that other ways of insuring a
high standard of governance in the Central Bank are being
explored.

marked out for special praise the players work in the lineout against
an experienced Argentinean pack which included such wily
operators and Juan Lobez and Paolo Zanzaretti.
A run of niggly injuries and poor form over the following year
saw present manger Joe Schmidt look past Ryan, to his club partner
and good friend Rhys Ruddock for the matchday squad. Over the
last six months
