"Jacob Stockdale has all the attributes to be one of the best wingers in the world. "He's exactly what Joe Schmidt wants in a winger - he's tall, good under the high ball, he's very, very fast - deceptively so.

"The last thing you want to do is give Charles Piutau the time and space to counter-attack, especially with the form Stockdale is in outside him." Wise words but Ulster, and Ireland, will be hoping to pressure these kicks to give both strike-runners a sniff.
