Doris praises team’s fast start in game where his exceptional breakdown work and defensive efforts shone through
. He admitted that it didn’t come naturally to him at first, particularly in his dealings with referees. But does any of that really matter when you’re this good?said in the dressingroom or in huddles, he certainly led from the front and from the off, both in defence and attack.
“There’s been a good buzz through the week. We know the quality Munster have and how they’ve been on the rise over the last couple of years, and they’ve beaten us at times so we wanted to put in a, we wanted to start well, we wanted to give the 80,000-plus here something to cheer for especially early on, and I think we did that quite well with a fast start.”“I don’t think it’s a trend.
“I love playing in different stadia. It’s very enjoyable. I’ve been here watching Mayo a few times. It’s obviously a very unique and iconic stadium. It was class playing it. “Last week was maybe a little bit more questionable but no, I was comfortable I had downward pressure and didn’t spill it on both occasions. The backs would have been very unhappy with me, given all the space there was out wide, if I didn’t get it down. So I made sure of it.”, there’s also been a discernible shift in attitude, and in this Doris also led the way with 20 tackles.
