The Best Thing We Shared

On The Record

I think there’s been a bit said about it already and Ulster have come out and made a statement this morning. We’ll reference you to that and we’ll get on with our own business. We’ve got a big week ahead of us here in Chicago. Little preparation, our focus has to be on the game and we’ll make no further comment.”

In Chicago, Ireland assistant coach Andy Farrell speaking to the media about the news that Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding were arrested and questioned by the PSNI over alleged sexual offences.
