James Hume is the only Ulster player to be named in Ireland’s 23 for their opening Six Nations game against Wales on Saturday.

Only the result will dictate if Andy Farrell was right to slash Ulster’s Ireland representation to just a single player for Six Nations opener against Wales

It all seemed rather deflating, really. Eight Ulstermen in Ireland camp and not one in the starting team.
