‘I'm still full of adrenaline, they're the moments as a kid that you want’ - Ross Byrne 

SLOTTED: Ireland's Ross Byrne celebrates after kicking a late penalty to win the game.

The adrenalin was still pouring from Ross Byrne late on Saturday night as he reflected on a crazy week that ended with him kicking the winning score for Ireland against the Wallabies at a packed Aviva Stadium.

The Leinster ten hadn’t played for Ireland since spring of 2021 when he managed a single minute off the bench against England. It looked to all the world as if he wouldn't be adding to his 13 Test caps under the current management.
