The best thing we shared today
This is one of the best try-saving tackles we’ve seen in a long time.
On the record
“For me, the big positive is Nathan White coming back in. I think he’s a very underrated player. He’s had big injuries but down in Connacht he’s been a key player. When you talk about Bundee Aki, Henshaw and all these players down there. For me, he’s the most vital player down there and Connacht without him are a different side” — Paul Wallace is a big admirer of Connacht’s Nathan White.
