A word here for Jenkins, who produced one of his best performances in the jersey and thoroughly vindicated his selection. He won five lineouts and had the second highest tackle count on the team in his 50 minutes, even more laudable considering that Doris with 13 played an additional 20 minutes to the South African. It wasn’t just the volume but the aggression and the quality of his clearing out at the breakdown.
In between those two moments, he came up with a big play after La Rochelle had kicked a penalty to the corner down at the Havelock Square end, but Baird insinuated his way into the French club’s maul to force a knock-on turnover and a scrum to the home side.
