One step at a time for Kilcoyne

Munster and Ireland prop David Kilcoyne is keeping his feet firmly on the ground and won’t entertain suggestions that he is already in Warren Gatland’s plans for the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia.

Kilcoyne’s sights are instead focused on winning a place in the Irish team for the Six Nations championship, conscious that competition for the loose head spot is at a premium.

Kilcoyne, who starred in Munster’s Heineken Cup win over Racing Metro on Sunday, has been included in the squad for the Irish Wolfhounds clash with the English Saxons in Galway on Friday night.
