England winger Cadan Murley has detailed what makes Ireland so difficult to play against having found himself under relentless pressure in their recent Six Nations meeting.
Murley scored a try and set up another in England’s 27-22 defeat in Dublin but was targeted in the back-field with a number of kicks in behind.
The 25-year-old had a mixed day at the office, notably being dragged into touch after attempting to carry from behind his own try-line in a key moment in the fixture and would repeat the feat later in the fixture, giving Ireland another scoring opportunity.
While Ireland’s biggest strength may not be as evident as with some of the world’s other top teams, such as South Africa who are renowned for their sheer power.
