My Take
Stuart McCloskey impresses me precisely because his excellence is the durable kind. Twice Ulster's player of the year and twice a Pro14 Dream Team pick, he is no flash in the pan but a sustained, reliable force at centre. That position is thankless and bruising: tackle, get up, do it again. The fact that Ireland trusts him at international level tells me coaches sleep easy with him in the lineup. Born in 1992 in Bangor, he is now a senior figure, surely the kind of dependable big brother younger players lean on. I have a soft spot for steady, unshowy men like this.
