Leo Cullen: ‘He is a very skilled player...I’m pleased that he went well’
“Luke [McGrath] and Rhys [Ruddock], the two of them have captained this group over this season and last. They bring brilliant composure and experience to the group. Lukey got his two tries, hugely important for us, he is a real warrior of the team and leads the guys really well.”
The home side’s opening two tries both came from slick tap penalty moves which have become something of a forte, Deegan barging over for the first with McGrath benefiting from the gap created by his teammates to dot down. The scrumhalf’s second try was a simple appreciation of the space and time afforded him at a ruck, from which he scooted over untouched.
