Centre Conor O'Brien certainly made his mark in Leinster's thumping win over Ulster in the Pro14, but is only too aware that he has much more to do if he is to feature more regularly for the province.
As well as scoring a stunning try, the Mullingar native was effective in the tackle as Leo Cullen's second string recorded a 40-7 victory at the RDS, with the bonus point in the bag just before the break.
"It was really cool playing in front of the home crowd and bouncing back from the Munster defeat last weekend," was O'Brien's immediate reaction afterwards to RTÉ Sport.
"We set ourselves up well in the first half. The message at half-time was to stay on top of them and not let them back into the game. Ulster are a quality side and if you give them a sniff, they'll take the advantage.
"Thankfully we stayed on top and played in the right parts of the pitch.
"I'm not looking forward to Monday, the review will come and you will have things to work on"
"It's only my second time playing here in front of a full house and scoring a try was sweet. Playing out there with all your mates is unbelievable."
O'Brien, who stood out when playing for the Ireland U20s, is an emerging talent but knows that more demands will be made of him.
He continued: "We had a good Celtic Cup campaign which is the A's tournament between the Irish and the Welsh teams. The systems are the same for the senior team so we slotted in pretty well.
"Senior heads like Rob Kearney and Noel Reid really helped."
"Patience is a big thing, but you have to be aggressively patient. If you look at Leinster, the depth we have is unbelievable in every position.
"I'm not looking forward to Monday, the review will come and you will have things to work on. It's constructive criticism, you have to take it on board.
"Training next week will be ferocious."
As for Ulster, outside centre Darren Cave lamented the concession of early scores in Dublin 4, while also looking ahead to next weekend's vital Champions Cup game against Racing 92.
Also, speaking to RTÉ Sport, he said: "Our downfall this season has been conceding early points - we were 14-0 down a quarter of an hour in. It's a long way back against any team, but particularly against Leinster.
"We did have a rattle at the corner a couple of times, and we couldn't get over.
"Leinster got the bonus point just on half time and that was a kick in the guts.
"We must now look to next week.
"If you are from Ireland, the Champions Cup is special. I have been lucky to get to the quarters on four different occasions. While this is a young group, we are improving, and we are capable of making the quarters.
"Racing, alongside Leinster, are probably among the best teams in the competition, but at home we are a tough side to beat. We can cause them a lot of problems. The ball is firmly in our court in terms of qualification."
