Dave Kilcoyne: I’m here to deliver when called on

A grand total of 34 minutes off the bench wouldn’t be everyone’s idea of a good November, but Dave Kilcoyne returns to Munster this week more than satisfied with his month’s work with Ireland.

Joe Schmidt fielded three different midfield combinations against South Africa, Fiji and Argentina.

He gave youth its head on the wings and in the second row, in particular, and he tore up the script entirely at loosehead.
