Andy Farrell: Ireland players must seize their chance

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell 

Andy Farrell has urged his Ireland players to seize the opportunities that lie ahead in unprecedented times for Test rugby by telling them this is the season to be at your best.

The Covid-19 pandemic may have brought a life-changing lockdown experience for rugby players as much as everyone else but when they finally get back to competitive matches later this month it will kick-start a hectic schedule that will climax with a British & Irish Lions series against the world-champion Springboks in South Africa next August.
