Downey still dreaming of Ireland call-up

James Downey hopes his move to Munster will help earn him a call-up from Irish coach Declan Kidney.

Downey, 31, joins the province on a two-year contract after spending the last five seasons in the English Premiership with Northampton Saints.

And the inside centre aims to ‘keep knocking on the door’ in his quest for a first international cap.
