Jack Crowley will be pleased with his performance in Twickenham today with reasonably solid goal kicking and some excellent kicks out of hand.
He also organised his backline well and had some nice touches with ball in hand.
One moment in particular was on the funnier side for fans, as he was seen scolding his Munster teammate Jeremy Loughman for throwing a forward pass to James Ryan, instead of taking the ball into contact.
As every rugby player knows, forwards are not big fans of a telling off from a back, and Loughman was seen throwing his arms in the air to Crowley.
No doubt they'll have a beer afterwards and laugh about it.
Head coach Andy Farrell spoke after the game and singled out the Munster out-half.
He said: "What the likes of Stuart McCloskey or Rob Baloucoune or Nick Timoney or Cian Prendergast or Jack Crowley or whatever...
"The growth they have got now from their teammates by performing on a big stage is going to do us the world of good going forward.
"We scored some lovely tries but some of the guts we had defending... chasing back, McCloskey and Baloucoune tackling people into touch in the corners.
"It shows the spirit of the team and what it means to fight for one another. A special day."
