Although I think there are better players who could play 13 tomorrow, Daly had to play.
You have to remember he’s been on massive Lions Tours, World Cup Finals, huge international games over a number of years.
You simply have to have that level of experience in the backs - considering most of our players are brand new or have never played in front of a Six Nations ‘away’ crowd. Only empty stadiums.
It’s a huge step up….and sometimes you need an experienced head or two. Especially in the backs.
Furthermore, he has got a howitzer of a boot on a day when a key penalty might decide things.
