[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 839516, member: 71826"] I just watched it on record this morning, agree that Stander was pretty good. All of the back row played well, as did the halfbacks - basically that is what happens when Ireland win for me, half backs and back row stand out. I was looking forward to watching a bit of Ringrose, but the style of game meant he didn't have a lot of involvement in attack - his main role seemed to be being first man into the ruck when Henshaw carried it up first phase, which he did pretty well. Also a nice pullback pass to put Sexton into space on the loop, obviously training ground but well executed. Maybe if he'd been thinking faster he could've put the dummy runner in (who might have been in a better position) but that's no serious criticism on a training ground move. His defence didn't look great however, positioning and reading seemed good but fell off a couple of tackles. That one in the first half where he rushed up (I think on Fickou) and missed him summed it up for me - good read, bad tackle. Is that the norm for him, does he struggle with defence, or just a bad day? [/QUOTE]
