Cave to dig deep in search for Irish shirt

Ireland international Darren Cave’s appetite for action is insatiable due mainly to the fact he wants to impress those in high places.

The 27-year-old centre again starts for Ulster when they travel to face Zebre in the Guinness Pro12 on Saturday.

One of the large contingent brought down to Carton House for a one-day session under the gaze of Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt, Cave desperately wants to add to his seven caps in the post-Brian O’Driscoll era where a number of prospective candidates are circling.
