Robinson was at Allianz Stadium last Saturday, as Ireland clinched the series with a 20-16 victory, and she praised Conor Murray, Johnny Sexton, Devin Toner and CJ Stander as having big influences on Joe Schmidt's men coming back from 1-0 down.

Jordan Larmour and Andrew Conway impressed in their time on the pitch, Down Under, but Earls remains Ireland's 14, no doubt. We're sure the Limerick native would be pleased to have nine years shaved off his birth cert age. In fairness to Robinson, too, Earls has not changed to drastically over the past decade, since he made his Ireland debut against Canada at Thomond Park.
