HE MAY NOT have made the cut for Ireland ’s latest Six Nations squad, but Leinster scrum-half Luke McGrath hasn’t given up hope of once again donning the green jersey at test level.
Even though Munster’s Craig Casey is currently sidelined through injury, interim head coach Simon Easterby has selected McGrath’s Leinster colleague Jamison Gibson-Park, Conor Murray and Caolin Blade as his scrum-half options for the forthcoming Championship. “The only way I’m going to get picked for Ireland is if I keep playing well here so it’s important I just focus on that. Dealing with the disappointment with Ireland, it’s great to come into an environment like this and how enjoyable it is to be in here. I’m still loving my rugby and I just have to put the head down and keep going now.”
“It’s so competitive in this squad and the Irish squad is incredibly competitive, especially that position. I know it’s some difficult calls, but every player wants to play.”
