Andrew Trimble’s focus on Ulster mission

Ireland wing Andrew Trimble shows no signs of any lack of enthusiasm, even though he will notch up 192 appearances for Ulster when they face Cardiff Blues at the Kingspan Stadium this evening.

Although obviously initially disappointed at not being included in Ireland’s World Cup squad, Trimble knuckled down to wear the white jersey and he set a record three weeks ago in by-passing Paddy Wallace’s 189 appearances. Now he intends to push on.

Trimble features in an Ulster side showing two changes from the reverse fixture at Murrayfield last Friday with fly-half Ian Humphreys starting for the first time this season and Lewis Stevenson coming in at lock for Dan Tuohy who is sidelined with concussion.
