“They’re just as dangerous on the break, they’ve got a strong set-piece and they’re going to be powerful and you need to hold your own line. Playing our own game is the main thing.” The exact nature of the injuries to Gibson-Park, “who picked up a knock”, and Healy were not divulged but word is that as was the case with Ronan Kelleher, they suffered hamstring twinges, which would be a curious coincidence to say the least.

True, there were five replacements by the hour mark, but ultimately, as is usually the case, both Andrew Porter and Dan Sheehan put in huge, 76-minute shifts. Johnny Sexton went almost 70 minutes – which may not be a bad thing.
