Stuart Lancaster: Jamison Gibson-Park ‘believes he is No.1 and should start’

Three rounds into Ireland’s Six Nations and, while the team has been hit and miss, there have been any number of individual performances that have found the sweet spot.

Hugo Keenan has grabbed a hold of the full-back jersey, Robbie Henshaw has been imperious in the midfield, Tadhg Beirne has shone regardless of the number on his back and Will Connors returned to the side with an outstanding effort in Rome.
