Rory O'Loughlin overcomes fear of missing chance to earn Ireland debut

Rory O'Loughlin was relieved to win his first cap during Ireland's 50-22 demolition of Japan on Saturday.

The Leinster utility back, who is equally adept at centre or wing, was one of eight uncapped rookies taken on Ireland's tour of the United States and Japan and head coach Joe Schmidt hinted beforehand that some of the squad may not see game time.
