His left foot isn't as cultured as James Lowe's, but it's a very good exit strategy on that side of the field.
It takes massive pressure off the 10.
That pass is so deep from Gibson Park.
It doesn't matter that the opposition know they're going to the pocket on Lowe.
Now, it would be interesting to see if Stockdale's as comfortable, as low in that pocket, because his foot is not as cultured.
I would say the ball is not as quick from hand to foot.
But having said that, it's still a good exit.
But I don't think that's the real reason.
I think this is Stockdale's chance.
It's a ball that he's got a left peg in him.
There's other ways to exit without a left-footed winger.
Other countries do it.
It suits Stockdale to be able to do it.
But I think there's a bigger picture here on Stockdale.
Yeah, no go about it.
Ulster, for the last number of years, have had very good backs and have underutilised them.
McCluskey has always been a standout for them.
So I think there's a reflection there that they're playing a style of game that's working to Ireland.
They're confident at the moment.
They're on a bit of a roll.
