Italy’s Ange Capuozzo has the eye of an assassin - and presents a new challenge for all Six Nations teams
Byrne’s durability, volume of games, and numbers are probably the best of any Irish outhalf in recent years, and his winning ratio has gone to a new high so far this season. He’s started and/or finished 15 of Leinster’s 17 wins, and now two Irish victories as well.Byrne is also 27, after all, and has played 143 times for Leinster, so when asked where his belief emanates from, says: “Probably from experience, I’ve played a lot of games in the last number of seasons.
“It definitely crossed my mind. It would cross anyone’s mind that the chance was gone. But the only thing I could do was play week-in, week-out as best I could for Leinster. “I think the team has grown massively,” he says exactly two years on. “You just see how the team have achieved in the last year, they’ve beaten every team other than France. Even what they did in November and in obviously in the summer in New Zealand, and last week as well.
