'There's a sense of when you're playing against a player like that 'if we don't get that right ourselves it's going to be difficult to beat him'.' - Simon Easterby
Peter O'Mahony's return to the first team was a genuine surprise - and has opened a window suggesting Simon Easterby wasn't as happy with last week's performance as he seemed.
At the same time, the 35 year-old O'Mahony isn't normally next-nor-near a seismic contributor with ball in hand, run-retain, repeat-retain, repeat-retain isn't his forte. "That's been something he's really enjoyed and I think that's been the reason he's got that longevity." "But Pete is also an expert in that area of the game, he has that ability of being able to read situations, he's quick into the air.
But is at the other end of the age scale as Hansen was in his early twenties and Peter O'Mahony is 35 and four months, Rocky-like in terms of ups and downs, he has quite the back catalogue!
