High-flying Heaslip takes panoramic view of defeat

JAMIE HEASLIP has never been the type of guy to get too worked up about a game of rugby.

He loves it, no question, and he’s damn good at it but he has always prided himself on an ability to step out of the bubble that all too often envelops other players.

This is a guy who likes to do his own thing, one of those being flying lessons. So it was no surprise to listen to the Leinster number eight rise above the depression of this defeat and take in a more panoramic view.
