Craig Casey put in a first class display, possibly his best-ever Ireland outing in a starting role, despite being bashed from pillar to post.
"Going into it you are almost expecting it and trying to hype yourself up for the hits. Just mistimed them but I will learn from it. "I mean I was very comfortable playing with Sam, we’ve got a good relationship as it would be with any of the No10s. The young lads coming into the squad – I’m not old – but the lads getting their debuts were class all week and gave great confidence to everyone.”“I don’t know about spectacular," he said of a finish where opted to take the aerial route. "Gus did very well to hear me and delivered it really well, it was a nice finish in the corner.
