Such was that confidence, as you said, and the speed of which Ireland were doing everything.
Yeah, she is.
Yeah, we played with her.
Robin would have come in my last year in Leinster, which was the summer before last year and got the chance to play with her.
And it's just that kind of youthful fun and zest for like rugby and all things kind of good about the game.
Like backs herself 100% has a lovely kind of
you know a quiet confidence in her that she knows how good she can be and what she can bring to the table and her speed is electric like her feet her ability to step away from contact you know she may not be as strong as Bavin but her ability to step you and that as you said to go from zero to 60 in the blink of an eye is huge and just to see how seamless she fitted in kind of speaks volumes of the competition now they have in that back three with a hell of a lot of young players like people would have topped maybe Anna McGann to be you know starting on that wing after a really good World Cup campaign for her but just goes to show you that
Scott likes to keep people guessing and keep them all, I suppose, fighting for spots.
We saw, as you said, Vicky Ann Skinland the week before, Ben drops completely out of it, having not done anything too wrong.
So it really creates that belief that they can all get in there and get their shot and get a rotation at it if they're showing their performances and training.
But yeah, Robin, coming from Wexford Wanderers, she's come right up the way.
She's been in the kind of the sevens programme.
She's been underage for Ireland as well.
She's come into the Leinster senior programme as well and done really, really well before being kind of taken into the HPC set up and
Yeah, she's going to go from strength to strength and definitely one for the future, I think.
Her game is only going to go further and further up.
So yeah, definitely a dream debut for her as things go.
as dominant a performance as i can remember one player having in a in a game in recent years yeah it was definitely had the hallmark of a performance of someone who was very frustrated and like you talk about players you know not reading you know not reading the article they're not reading the kind of the the pieces on during the week of the the post twickenham stuff of her having a quiet game you can bet your life that if wafer would have read them and would have been feeling the pinch and the frustration more than anybody of her personally of the onus that she would put on herself to influence a game and what she knows she can do and
That can happen.
We saw it, I think, when some of the Irish players in the past who had burst onto the scene, you can have your first year, you can blow it out of the park and then you become a known quantity and players had to mark you out of it and try to nullify your massive threat.
