British and Irish Lions coach Clive Woodward came to Lansdowne Road on Saturday expecting to be enthralled by the Brian O'Driscoll-Gordon D'Arcy show, but he left with a special word for second row Malcolm O'Kelly.
"Obviously I was looking out for the centres - but I thought (Malcolm) O'Kelly had an outstanding game," said Woodward.
Ireland captain O'Driscoll is being hotly-tipped to be the captain of the Lions Tour to New Zealand next summer.
He was always a threat in possession and D'Arcy executed a superb drop goal before suffering a recurrence of a groin injury in the act of scoring a dubious try.
Woodward agreed: "It was unfortunate to see D'Arcy injured. Hopefully, he is okay."
