I thought his cameo against Argentina in RWC15 exposed his frailties once the tempo is raised. He was burnt for the last try making a quite feeble and ineffective attempt to tackle the Argentine second row who then offloaded to Imanhoff.
Leinster have returned to that style of play and have plenty of players able to play a pacy up tempo game. Ruddock is not one of those and will be at best a bit part player with Leinster in the immediate future.
You have permission to change your signature if I'm proven wrong.
He missed a tackle? Hes cr@p so.

Its funnu, i dont remember tempo being a problem for him in any of his.previous 125 games for Leinster or Locky.
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Maybe I'm taking you up wrong here but you claim this isn't difficult stuff and try to claim that Ross Byrne has played more high level games than Ian Keatley - very selective and rather impressive use of stats/facts

Ross Byrne to Adam Byrne and on to Ed Byrne for the try. It was a good night for Byrnes.

Great to see a new wave of talented players coming through, like long gone friday night games in Donnybrook with young BOD Hickie Shaggy et al

S4C's commentators thought it was the funniest thing in the history of ever - they couldn't stop saying it.

I think it must be quite boring in Wales during winter.

Really adds to attacking tempo too

Sheesh, I'm sure there are whole teams over there consisting of nout but Williams's and Jones's.
