The upward curve continues for the Munster fly-half who replaced injured provincial colleague Joey Carbery after 45 minutes and took to Test rugby in the same assured stride as for Emerging Ireland and Ireland A in recent weeks. Slotted two conversions and showed plenty of creative intent while Andy Farrell praised his confidence and leadership. Not bad for a player who had been expecting to be playing for Munster against the South Africans at Páirc Uí Chaoimh two days earlier but made the most of the opportunity that fell to him in the wake of injuries to Johnny Sexton and Ciaran Frawley.
