Connacht centre responds to Argentina omission with try-scoring performance
Started the game very brightly, secure under the high ball, one lovely sidestep and counterattack and his left foot made sizeable gains down the touchline.Two tries put a nice gloss on a hardworking display for which he deserves credit especially in the manner in which he popped up all over the pitch. Might have had a hat-trick but for a dropped pass.A super game. He gave Ireland positive targets based on his ability to beat multiple tacklers .
The scrum was solid, and Fiji didn’t find much space on the fringes of the breakdown.His physical prowess was evident in defence and attack, and he managed one of four Ireland turnovers in the game. He took responsibility for restarts which he executed well for the most part.
