Forgotten Ireland star reminds us of his class with sensational solo try for Ulster

Colman Stanley

What a finish!

In recent years, James Lowe and Mack Hansen have established themselves as Ireland’s first-choice wingers, with significant distance between them and the chasing pack.

Names like Jacob Stockdale, Tommy O’Brien, Shayne Bolton, Calvin Nash, and Zac Ward pop up in discussions over who is next in line.

One man who has been relatively forgotten, despite bursting on to the scene with Ulster and Ireland around the start of the decade, is Robert Baloucoune.

However, he has followed up his selection for the Ireland XV to face Spain next month with a hat-trick for Ulster in their URC clash with the Lions today.

The flyer got his side’s first points on the board with a classy solo finish, which you can watch below.
