Rob Baloucoune desperate to take All Blacks opportunity with both hands

Ireland have not yet lost a Test in which Baloucoune has been involved. That’s not a bad record given he’s played eight Tests, but just as impressive is his tryscoring rate, including the three tries he scored from four Tests earlier this year

Ireland might be near the bottom of the globe in New Zealand about to take on the All Blacks, but flying winger Robert Baloucoune is fit and feeling on top of the world.

That’s because after a stop-start couple of years, the winger is moving freely and in line to take on the All Blacks at Eden Park.
