Ireland captain Calen Doris tells ITV: "We asked for a big performance from some of our senior players and big match players and they stood up, the likes of Tadhg Beirne some of the turnovers he got were crucial. We saw what their attack was capable of last week and again today it came in waves but our defence stood up and big moments helped keep them out. "There were some calm heads in there which was helped by the fact we had scoreboard pressure throughout from a fast start which we aimed for as well, it felt composed out there and it was good."
