Poll: Who should start for Ireland against Australia?

There has been much debate over who deserves to play scrum-half and out-half for Ireland’s upcoming match. Which player combination would you prefer?

CONOR MURRAY AND Jonny Sexton both gave displays that were widely regarded as unconvincing against USA on Sunday.

As a result, many have called for Eoin Reddan and in particular, Ronan O’Gara, to start against the Aussies on Saturday, including ex-Ireland international Rob Henderson.

While O’Gara is the form player, Sexton has proven he is a man for the big occasion before.

Meanwhile, Murray’s performance on Sunday raised question marks over whether he is yet ready to be thrown into the deep end, especially when a player as experienced as Reddan is available.

However, few would argue that Murray was Ireland’s only below-par performer against the Americans, so does he deserve a second chance?

Taking all this into consideration, which combination do you think Declan Kidney should pick?
