WHATEVER ABOUT IRELAND ’S form this autumn, there has been no debate about Josh van der Flier’s displays.
“I’m feeling good,” says the 31-year-old. “When the body feels good that’s the first thing. It feels fresh. Van der Flier is at his best when he has a chance to run onto the ball, using his acceleration, choice of running line, and sense of where a sliver of space might be to punch over the gainline. “I found him brilliant, his attention to detail and his focus on players getting good habits and being good as individuals is something I developed hugely from,” he says.
Ireland play a different brand of rugby now under Andy Farrell, but van der Flier remains totally focused on doing the simple things as well as possible.
