Tom Farrell thought his chance to play for Ireland had come and gone last summer. Now the Munster centre is targeting more opportunities after making his Test debut on Saturday at the grand old age of 32.

Perseverance has been a cornerstone of the Dubliner’s career having left his native Leinster for a stint in England with Bedford Blues and then returning home for a seven-year stint at Connacht that came to an abrupt end in 2024.
