All the sacrifices were worth it, says debutante Kleyn

In a sense, Jean Kleyn completed his journey with a Test debut for Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday, but the Munster lock is determined to stay forward-focused as he aims for a place in his adopted country’s World Cup squad next month.

Kleyn, who turns 26 two weeks today, made a strong start to his Test career with an impressive performance in the second row as Ireland ran out 29-10 winners over Italy.
