This last nine months or more has tested everyone's patience. Stuart McCloskey has been stewing for five years.

The Ulster centre made his Ireland senior debut in Twickenham back in February of 2016. He did well enough to earn positive reviews from most observers but his second cap didn't follow until over 18 months later when he faced Fiji in Dublin.
