I thought, to me, I thought he was the most consistent player.

So it's actually interesting when you actually...

In games like this, I talk about what I said at the start, where you want the perfect game where you can show your wares and how great you are and everything, and it rarely happens.

But good players find a way to perform in a game, even if the whole team performance isn't there.

So I would have thought McCluskey was good.

I thought Henshaw was OK.

I wouldn't say...

his impact is the same as yours but I thought there was probably four or five players that showed their class and they're probably carrying the form of their club game and their kind of experience into the game and they stood out and then for other players I would say some of the younger guys that got a sniff and they got a taste of Test Rugby it'll be

Really interesting to see is that a catalyst for them, you know, for the three that are getting the debut from Connacht.

You know, I wonder how much energy that will carry back to Connacht for them to realise, oh, there's a jump from playing club rugby to international and how quickly they can close that.

It looked predictable.

So when we were contesting, when we were going up...

they knew where we were going and they were contesting.

And, you know, Derns is a big unit as well.

So they've got a little bit of a height advantage on us as well.

But yeah, you know, the couple of times where we had a couple of errors for, you could say, throw and jump errors.

Off the top of my head, it felt like three crooked.

That's just going straight to... Rona Kelleher.

Unfortunately, falls straight at his doorstep.

Three crooked throws is unacceptable at an international level for two times British and Irish Lion tourist.
