I couldn't agree more, I was critical of his selection from the start but he has done everything expected at this level. He didn't get the attacking chances tonight but was rock solid in D which is where i thought he would struggle.
You rightly point out the first try but he also shut down that left side with some terrific reads. He would be considered unlucky if Chambers replaces him in game 3.
He has probably ended Jennings rep career IMO, if Jennings couldn't get over O'Neill then forget it. That's not meant to be a knock on O'Neill either but he was our second pick.
