Dillane ready to tackle Blues under Farrell’s watchful eye

Ultan Dillane would obviously prefer to be still in Irish camp, but having been released to play for Connacht this weekend, he knows Andy Farrell and his coaching team will be watching closely when they play Cardiff Blues on Saturday.

Dillane, like hooker Dave Heffernan who has also been released from camp for this game, now has that bit more incentive aside from striving to bring a five-match losing run to an end for Connacht.
