If Harry Byrne hadn’t already edged himself into the debate as to who might be Ireland’s best out-half, then he absolutely is now after nailing the penalty that gave Leinster a one-point win over La Rochelle in the Champions Cup.

There were 81 minutes and 43 seconds played when the 26-year old stood over the ball maybe 15 metres in from the sideline and a good 40-45 out from the posts. It was also on the awkward side for a right-footer.
