One job left to do for rejuvenated prop Ross

WITH a Heineken Cup medal in his back pocket, a Magners League Grand final against his native province to come and the likelihood of a starting spot in the World Cup, things couldn’t be a whole better right now for Mike Ross.

Little wonder, given where he was 12 months earlier.
