Emerging Ireland regroup following Ciarán Frawley injury

The Leinster man's absence is 'a great opportunity to see the other boys in the driving seat'. 

UNITED FRONT: The team huddle up during the Captain's Run.

The wisecrack doing the rounds up to last week was that the Emerging Ireland tour had been dreamt up with the sole purpose of fast-tracking Ciarán Frawley’s candidacy at out-half.

The Leinster man, used as a centre by his province in recent seasons, came back from New Zealand with his reputation enhanced by his two midweek performances in the No 10 slot against the Māori.
