TRALEE’S Ultan Dillane made his first start for Ireland tonight.
Despite a bit of a dodgy first half for the home team, Ultan was awesome. So much so, that he was awarded Man Of The Match in the game which finished 52-21 to the home team.
Ultan managed to get a second-half try during the evening and was taken off in the 73rd minute in a superb performance.
One guy below says it’s hard not to love Ultan Dillane, which sums it up really. Here’s what people made of his performance on Twitter…
