The decision to push for every last inch was dumb, as was his crossfield kick to nobody a few minutes from the end which went out on the full. In both cases, the execution was as flawed as the thinking. He may, and hopefully will, turn out to be a great player for us, but this is the first I've seen of him and it wasn't particularly impressive.

Likely picked on his form for Ulster, which has been good. Following Sexton's performance with 14 players was always going to be difficult for any low capped fly half, but that last kick will take some getting over.
