47 mins. Some will say that the Ramos volley was a slice that jammily found a team mate. To those I would say look at how many times he’s done that this season for Toulouse; the man is a marvel.

Late Monday evening, not long after the Ireland squad arrived at their team hotel in La Defense on the west side of Paris, news broke on the other side of the world which served as a reminder of what their north star is for the next 18 months.

Asked about returning France captain Antoine Dupont, Doris described the famously elusive scrum-half as "one of those little fish you try to touch and they dart away from you".
