Ireland's bench press was so good in this Six Nations that Rob Herring believes a World Cup triumph has to be next on this squad’s agenda.
During his time with England, Eddie Jones talked not of replacements but of ‘finishers’ – and that’s exactly what Ireland’s men in reserve turned out to be during the Grand Slam charge.
It was one of those replacements – Herring, in this case – who put the icing on Ireland’s cake on Saturday with the fourth try before the finish.
