Chicago role still 'eating away' at honest and maturing Craig Casey

Andy Farrell preaches a no-excuses culture, Craig Casey embodies it. When Ireland got back from Chicago and sifted through their usual post-game debrief on the Monday morning, the Munster scrum-half made a point of standing up and calling himself out.

The game was basically done by the time Cam Roigard picked up the ball at the base of a New Zealand scrum five metres from the try line. The All Blacks were eight points up with less than four minutes on the clock. Ireland were a busted flush.
