You may remember earlier in the week that American footballer JJ Watt offered his services to Ireland as a number 8. Today he was having second thoughts.
By Declan Whooley
The NFL defensive lynchpin is currently in Ireland and earlier in the week offered Declan Kidney his services as an option as a number 8. After watching the French game today and the performance of try scorer Jamie Heaslip, he tweeted that it was a good thing he didn’t take to the field in Dublin this evening.
Like the rest of us, the Houstan Texan man felt a little deflated after the match, but did claim to thoroughly enjoy his day at the Aviva, with not even the weather putting a dampener on the occasion.
A man whose game centres on defensive duties can only have been impressed by the heroics in defence by the home team today.
