Ross: Let’s make most of title shot

Mike Ross has urged his Ireland team-mates to make the most of a rare opportunity to gain international success by beating France in their Six Nations decider in Paris on Saturday.

Tighthead prop Ross, 34, watched Ireland clinch the 2009 Grand Slam from his armchair in London, not making his Test debut until that summer’s tour to North America having switched from Harlequins to Leinster.

While that move home has twice brought the Corkman Heineken Cup glory, he now gets the chance to add some long-awaited silverware with his country as he prepares for the biggest match of his life.
