 Pity about April. 
I would have enjoyed seeing him come on for the last 20.
Would have done him the world of good. Amazing what a mere 20 minutes can do to one's confidence.

 CC - April is a dubious Super Rugby flyhalf and will never make it on test level - not even remotely so.   He is BEE and that is a fact.

 Well Mike ... from what I saw he looked to have a nasty step, a nice bit of pace, a good boot both at poles and out of hand and seems relatively solid on defence. 
He comes across as a youngster with confidence.
Perhaps it is a little early for his test entrance however I would still have had him on the bench against this depleted Irish squad. 
Nothing ventured, nothing gained ...
