Pro 12: Wrestlemania!

[Cambronne]

It was a victory for exciting rugby. Delighted for Connacht as a fan of rugby. Disappointed for Leinster as a supporter but can have no complaints. The best team won the ***le.

Don't understand how the Connacht back three aren't in the Ireland squad.

Tiernan O'Halloran is arguably the best fullback available to Ireland right now. Finlay Bealham has come from nowhere to being Ireland's best tighthead. Pat Lam has done a phenomenal job there. Hopefully this will kick start participation in rugby out west.

Participation levels in rugby in Connacht is already very high: the problem is the population is a fraction of the other provinces.

However, he is not, in any way, shape or form, a fullback. He was horrific for Ireland in 2011 in the 6N under Kidney at fullback. He was targeted every game and failed to deliver.

Because his kicking game wasn't great. He's now pretty decent under a high ball.

He doesn't have to be a great or even a good full back to be better than Rob Kearney.

Merely above average will do.

15 definitely isn't the second most creative position on the pitch.

How would a Leinsterman know? Unless you can remember Nacewa's appearances there during his first stint in D4, you'd never have seen a good one play.
