The Leinster scrum-half produced the sort of performance that bolstered his claims to be the starting nine on this summer's British and Irish Lions tour to Australia.
On the victory against an England team that looked so strong in the first half, the 32-year-old said: "We're pretty stoked. It was little bit patchy to begin with, but we saw some nice stuff there by the end.
"I have to hand a lot of credit it to England, lot of credit, they stuck it to us for the most part; they're a classy side and I'm sure they'll go well for the rest of the competition.
As well as scoring his team's first try in a significant moment just before an otherwise scoreless first half for Ireland, Gibson-Park was an all-round force for the home side, his pace, defence and kicking game very much to the fore.
Gibson-Park was asked what was said in the changing room at half time that changed the tone for the second 40. "I don't think there were many adjustments," he replied. "It was just a little bit of accuracy we lacked in the first half; a few more passes stuck in the second. We saw some good stuff that we'll sit down and review, and a few things we can work on.
And how did he explain his red-hot form right now? "I think I'm just a bit lucky to [have] a pack that's going forward," said the man who hails from Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. "I'm super lucky to be part of this squad, and I'm really enjoying my footie in this camp, as we all do.
"The coaching team, the staff, it's an incredible environment to be part of."
