Mack Hansen described his winning Ireland debut as a "dream come true" as he picked up the man of the match award following the 29-7 victory over Wales.
The Connacht wing, who hails from Canberra and qualifies for Ireland through his Cork-born mother, has enjoyed a whirlwind start to life in this country after scoring six tries in his opening nine games for Connacht, enough to catch the eye of Andy Farrell and earn his Test bow in today's Six Nations opener.
"The guys inside made my job easier, forwards and backs running great lines and playing very well together," said a delighted Hansen.
