A lucky boy and off the mark with his line-out throwing, Sheehan was fortunate to escape a card for his clear-out on Wallaby fly-half Tom Lynagh who was forced off just before half-time. Could have been red. Sheehan then had to step up to lead the side. His darts were way below his normal level with five losses. 4
