Andy Farrell has described Craig Casey as the obvious candidate to captain his Ireland ‘A’ side against a New Zealand selection at the RDS on Friday.

The nomination is the latest step forward for the 23-year-old scrum-half who has already played over 50 times for Munster and been capped five times at Test level by his country.
