Winger Andrew Conway craves Ireland call

Uncapped Andrew Conway is not counting on selection for Ireland’s tour to South Africa but the Munster wing admits representing his country is never far from his thoughts.

Despite being called into the Ireland camp by Joe Schmidt during the Six Nations, Conway, 24, feels his chances of making the squad for next month’s Test series against the Springboks are a longshot.

“I think the issue for players like Keith Earls and Conor Murray is that they are experienced 50-plus capped internationals. However bad or average Munster are in a season, even last weekend when we were seventh in the league, those lads are going to get picked,” Conway said.
