Wales Grand Slam hero Hadleigh Parkes says he enjoyed his try-saving tackle on Jacob Stockdale more than his try in Wales' 25-7 win over Ireland.
Parkes' try in the second minute got the afternoon off to the perfect start as Warren Gatland's men cruised to a win that secure their first Six Nations clean sweep since 2012.
But the Scarlets centre admitted that it was his last-ditch diving tackle on Irish winger Stockdale to stop a certain try that gave him most pleasure.
Writing in his BBC Sport column , Parkes broke down the two key moments in the early moments of last Saturday's match - with the latter pleasing him more.
Why the Welsh attack isn't as bad as everyone would have you believe
"I'm not the most rapid player out there, but I was winding back the years to catch Jacob Stockdale," explained Parkes.
"I was in the right place at the right time and Gareth Davies probably slowed him down a little bit and got him off balance.
"If I'd have waited a bit longer he might have got away, so I threw myself full tilt and took him down.
"I probably enjoyed the tackle even more than the try if I'm honest.
"You don't always get to make those sort of tackles so I think I preferred that moment to scoring the try."
