BEN FRANKS v DAN COLE Irish loosehead Tigers tighthead

Cole again proved his class with a dominant display that helped provide Tigers with a solid set-piece platform. With perfect body shape, he caused Franks, covering for Irish at loosehead, all manner of problems. Franks never shirked but was glad to see Cole depart early and he will not have been pleased to see Will Evans scoot past for his try.
