Home truths aplenty for Ulster's James Hume during lockdown

Centre reaches another milestone on Sunday with a first European appearance in Ulster’s Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final away to Toulouse.

James Hume is enjoying his most impressive run of form for the province, going into Sunday's quarter-final against Toulouse. 

The motto tattooed on James Hume’s right arm goes a small way to explaining how a professional rugby player could offer such an honest appraisal of themselves during this strangest of years.

‘Quaerere Verum’ – ‘To seek the truth’ is the school motto of Royal Belfast Academical Institution, where Hume made his name as one of Ulster’s most exciting young talents, winning three consecutive Schools Cup titles to earn a degree of fame before he ever set foot inside the Ulster Academy.
