For Caelan Doris, more than most, the autumn international window has felt a long time coming. The Leinster backrow had only been on the pitch three and a half minutes when his Ireland debut was cut short due to concussion in February’s Six Nations win over Scotland. His international career resumed with an impressive cameo against England in Twickenham, but then the rugby world stopped spinning.

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell is due to name his squad for the upcoming Six Nations games against Italy and France this week, and after getting a small taste of the Test stage, Doris is eager to get a bigger bite of the action this time around.
