Settled quickly following his late introduction to the starting line-up, assured in most of what all he did before the interval without getting much opportunity in attack. The second half, one handling error aside, was a case of more of the same.He was very strong in his carrying game and robust in the collisions on both sides of the ball. One great piece of tidying up late in the first half. Might have scored a try if he hadn’t gone for a second step inside but overall, a fine performance.
He tried to realign Ireland’s lateral attack from time to time by straightening or looking for space back against the grain and fought tooth and nail to batter his way into and through cluttered corridors. Ireland’s best player, despite a late missed tackle that will hurt.A missed tackle on Stafford McDowall aside, he was one of the few Irish players to regularly get over the gain-line and that industry translated to 10 carries, 12 tackles and two defenders beaten.
