Northern Ireland Six Nations: Stuart McCloskey ‘knows where he stands’ with Irish coach Andy Farrell

Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey says Andy Farrell is a “brilliant coach” as he pushes for a place against England in Sunday’s Six Nations encounter.

The Ulster player missed out on a spot in Farrell’s original 35-man squad for the tournament before being drafted in.

McCloskey did not feature in Ireland’s opening two victories, but he has praised Farrell for not giving him “false hope”.
