Champions Cup Team of the Week: \u2018Absolutely immense\u2019 Jordie Barrett stars while England\u2019s \u2018impudent\u2019 rising star delivers \u2018mighty second-half performance\u2019<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\u2018He actually just got the turnover or he was looking for the strip\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cBut most of that I\u2019m not surprised with, but I suppose the biggest area that to me is more prevalent is the breakdown turnovers, the ability to tackle and get the turnover and none of them lead to penalties, he actually just got the turnover or he was looking for the strip.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was such a performance and I also like the after match interview where he goes, \u2018if you care enough\u2019, because they\u2019re like, \u2018oh, how hard was it to back up and how hard is it going to be back up?\u2019 And he goes, \u2018well, if you care enough, you will\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo there\u2019s clearly just an edge about his preparation and the way he works during the week and he\u2019s getting the rewards for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Crusaders scrum-half Bryn Hall echoed Parsons sentiments that Barrett\u2019s game has improved by playing in a Leinster team which is filled with Ireland internationals and with coaches like Leo Cullen and Jacques Nienaber calling the shots.<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting the minds of people from the Irish who have been successful, the South Africans who have been successful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can also talk about the squad that they have. When you\u2019re playing outside an Irish nine, 10, 13, 15 as well, we talk around the spine and then we\u2019re talking around the loose fortress with (Josh) van der Flier and obviously the more that they have there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players that he\u2019s playing with, the more that he\u2019s probably been able to learn how they are playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd to be honest, it just looks like he\u2019s worrying about his own role and being able to execute his skill set. So the good thing that I like about Leinster at the moment is they\u2019re playing to his skill set.\u201d<\/p>\n
