Warwick’s driving ambition

In his former life, working at his father’s engineering company in Ballymena, Ulster front-row forward Andrew Warwick drove two-ton trucks around the country.

A fully-qualified HGV licence holder, the 23-year-old now just wants to drive scrums.

The angular prop, who plans to concentrate playing at loose-head this season after freelancing along the front row with his home town club Ballymena, is keen to show what he is made of when the new Guinness Pro12 League rolls out this weekend, with a difficult trip to the Scarlets.
