And I don't think defenders are expecting Sam Prendergast to take them on in contact when he does it.

But Crowley will do that.

And I think it spread a little bit of panic into the Italian defense because they were like, OK, what's this guy going to do?

He got absolutely hammered in a tackle because he delayed the pass so much to the last second where it looked like he might go through a gap.

So I think that had a big impact in terms of putting the shape on the defense.

But it was so pleasing.

to see that try, or the Robert Ballacoon try, and also the Jamie Osborne try, which Stuart McCloskey set up from the offload as well.

Because, you know, and just something we were talking about yesterday, Sinead, in terms of what does Ireland's game plan and tactics look like going forward?

I think a lot of people were worried last week because it was so kick-heavy in Paris, but I think that was more tailored to...

the conditions in terms of being a wet night in Paris and the opposition, whereas I think we saw tonight Ireland still have the ability to go through multi-phases.

I'm not sure how many phases it was for Balogun's try, but it was nine for Jamie Osborne's, and it was the slickness of passing at the line.

Thomas Clarkson made a brilliant carry just before Stuart McCloskey threw the offload for Osborne in the build-up to that try.

So it's really pleasing that that's still in their locker.

I think it's about adding layers to that and also adopting the kicking game, which we know is going to be really crucial.

And having seen the back three and the wingers in particular winning so many aerial balls, that was hugely encouraging as well.

I'm sorry, does it go back to my point that they thought they could just run, they could run from detail?

I think Prendergast would be really frustrated as well about the missed kicks.

He just didn't seem to strike them well.

If you're having a bad... Every player has a bad day.

But if you're nailing your kicks, it can kind of paper over the cracks, but it can give you a bit of leeway.
