Strauss eager to keep improving

Having made his Ireland debut in the defeat to South Africa last Saturday, Ricahrdt Strauss is determined to improve aspects of his game as he hopes to earn more caps in the green jersey.

After living in Ireland for three years, Strauss qualified for Declan Kidney’s team under the residency rule and injury to Ulster hooker Rory Best saw the Leinster man drafted straight into the starting XV alongside provincial teammates Cian Healy and Mike Ross.
