Calm and controlled as ever. Not his busiest afternoon in the air but looked comfortable with everything that was kicked his way. Huge tackle to deny Stuart Hogg in the corner early in the second half. A quality operator.Would have liked to see more of the ball in the opening period. Grew into the game and always looked to keep the ball alive. Not the most eye-catching performance from a player who can light a game up, but got through a lot of good work.
Replaced his Ulster teammate to win his fifth Ireland cap. Visibly frustrated to spill a pass from Lowe when he should have been able to keep possession.A popular introduction, and made a big carry with his first involvement. His leadership was important as Ireland saw out the game, his voice one of the more prominent across the ref mic.Calm head helped Ireland see the game out and did well to finish Ireland’s bonus point score, which was a lovely moment for the Munster scrum-half.
