ULTAN Dillane will have to wait a little longer for his first start in a Six Nations game as he has been named on the bench for the clash with Italy on Saturday.

The 22 year old former Tralee RFC player impressed with his 15 minutes game time against the English two weeks ago in which he made a drive which almost resulted in a try and hopefully we’ll be seeing more of him this Saturday.

The whole of Tralee will be watching as Ireland attempt to salvage some of the season against the Italians at the Aviva and we’re sure he’ll give it his all if he comes on at some stage.
