Ireland forced to spend much of the game at Twickenham with a reshuffled backline due to early backline injuries
Nash, following treatment, departed for a Head Injury Assessment which he failed. Just six minutes had elapsed when Frawley was summoned. Hugo Keenan moved to the left wing where he played before at age-grade level and in the formative days of his Test match career.There was initially a little movement as Frawley and Keenan swapped between defending on the wing and at fullback before the Skerries native took on the latter role on a permanent basis.
Twice around the half an hour mark Frawley rose to catch high balls, the second of which for a mark offered his side a respite and a chance to draw breath. Keenan didn’t miss a beat with his new role, and he combined with Robbie Henshaw to avert a try scoring chance, forcing George Furbank into a knock-on.Keenan’s brilliant catch from a Jamison Gibson-Park box-kick was the jumping off point for James Lowe’s first try.
