Ronan O’Gara: There’s nobody or nothing running over Keith Earls these days
GREEN GIANT: Keith Earls’ stunning try in Ireland’s win over England illustrated that this is a man operating at the top of his game at the age of 33. Ronan O’Gara believes the Munster man must now be in Warren Gatland’s thoughts for Lions selection. Picture: INPHO/Billy Stickland
The confidence surge from Ireland’s first try against England last Saturday could be measured in fathoms.
It provided validation for the coaches, self-belief for the players. Both groups got their analysis right and the execution spot on. That’s a big win. It’s no exaggeration to say that pop off the tail would have been walked through 10 times and done at running speed a further 20 or 30 times. So there’s a fair buzz when it comes off.
