โ€œIโ€™ll never forget the first Ulster session. I went up in a Gaelic jersey, a Dublin one. Really stupid of me! They had no idea who I was. I have never, and Iโ€™m not joking, been tackled as hard in my lifeโ€ @tuite_fiona, great player & class interviewee โ˜˜๏ธ rugbypass.com/news/fiona-tuiโ€ฆ

โ€œNot many teams have come to South Africa and won two Test games against them, back to back. I donโ€™t think any Irish team ever has, so there is history in that. "Weโ€™d love to come over and win them two Test games and create a bit of history." Erin King is ready to rock โ˜˜๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Nice to see me pairing Stu McCloskey and Tommy O'Brien up as starting centres is gaining traction (and support) ๐Ÿ˜‡ Embracing the Dan Sheehan as No.8 era, I'd love to see those two lads team up in an Irish backline, next month ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š rugbypass.com/plus/six-takeaโ€ฆ

Leinster have named Dan Sheehan to start at No.8 against Munster ๐Ÿ”ต๐Ÿ”ด This will be the Ireland captain's first time starting in the role. Did play the final 15 minutes of Champions Cup game there, last season, against Sale Sharks Leinster innovation or quiet nudge from Andy?
