There are big men and then there are huge men. Then there’s Devin Toner.
Leinster’s mountain is tall, we all know that. Standing at almost 6 ft 11, the sight of the second row locked in arms shoulder hip to shoulder with his team mates during the national anthem never gets old.
And, sure, he could win a few lineouts and high balls and he can channel all that extraordinary beef into powerful momentum but could he do it when it really matters? Could he do it at Chicago Bulls’ training centre?

Ireland’s tour of the Windy City continues and, thankfully, photographers are tracking their every move so we don’t miss a peep.
Here they are getting onto a plane.
Here they are talking before they get onto a plane.
Here they are acting natural and looking into the distance.
Here they are walking.
An excited group photo.
Shooting some hoops.
Having a laugh.
Getting bored now.
You wouldn’t get bored of watching Devin Toner in full flight though. Back in his natural environment, the Castleknock College man was “draining buckets” as Cian Healy would put it, and it was a thing of beauty.
We’ll forgive him the criminal travelling steps.

He can do it from further back too.
