"I don’t know why you grow up wanting to be captain of Ireland, maybe because the players you admire the most were captains, but to do it would be dream-come-true stuff.
"It’s a great group of lads, so to lead them is very special. Who wouldn’t be proud? It’s going to be a big week, there will be lots of hype, plenty of distractions, tickets and family and all that and we need to get down to business and get a big performance.", with Andy Farrell naming his Ireland team on Thursday afternoon, March 16.
