P.S.

RYAN WILSON did not play in Cardiff. He limped out of action after just 17 minutes on Saturday. Just before Ireland’s opening try. One man doesn’t make a defence. But Wilson, who played the full 80 against France and put in a 68-minute shift

after his invaluable rattling of England’s Owen Farrell in the Murrayfield tunnel, proves that an old rugby adage still holds true. Sometimes, all you really need to disrupt the opposition attack is a right hard nut with weapons-grade attitude.
