ROSS BYRNE PICKED up in Cardiff on Saturday where he left off at the Aviva in the autumn, making a key contribution to Ireland’s cause as he steered Andy Farrell’s side towards their bonus-point score against Wales.

The extra few weeks’ integration were plain to see as Byrne combined with many of his fellow replacements at the Principality Stadium to replicate some of Ireland’s earlier fluidity, all of which resulted in Josh van der Flier’s crucial fourth try — and almost yielded a fifth by way of Mack Hansen.

Zooming in, then, on the difference between his couple of years outside of Ireland fold versus now, when he’s clearly seen as integral, the mind wanders back to that kick against the Wallabies.

Equally, he’s playing career-best rugby with Leinster on an almost weekly basis, and it could be easily argued that he would warranted inclusion in Farrell’s Six Nations squad even if he had missed out on November entirely.

It’s a testament to Byrne that, for the moment, Andy Farell has demontrated a willingness to tear up that blueprint and back a man boasting less than a third of Joey Carbery’s international experience.

And if Byrne continues to lead that race — or indeed, if circumstances dictate that he starts for Ireland against South Africa or Scotland in France — he’s politely confident that he’ll seize his moment just as he’s managed to do all season so far.
