McFadden: Huge step up in pace

It was a tough night at the office for Fergus McFadden last Saturday.

The Leinster utility back was charged with containing new All Black sensation Julian Savea on the left wing, but things did not go according to plan.

Savea, making his debut in the black jersey, ran riot in a three-try man-of-the-match display, while the giant Hurricanes flyer burst through the Irish rearguard on several other occasions.
