Chris Farrell: ‘I was getting ramped up sitting in the corner’

Forewarned is forearmed, as the proverb goes. Chris Farrell’s one-week release from Ireland camp back to Munster during the Six Nations has given the centre confidence that he and his fellow internationals will be on the same page with their provincial teammates by kick-off time at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Munster travel to in-form Edinburgh for a Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final with the prospect of the team selected by head coach Johann van Graan having had only three training sessions together as a collective since January.
