Andrew talked about his highlights in an Ireland career, such as filling in for Brian O’Driscoll after an injury and helping the team to become one of the best in the world.

He also spoke to Patrick about his documentary on his identity in Ulster coming from a protestant background and reflecting on how that fits in with the world now.
He did admit he was anxious to talk about the Six Nations but said that people are being “very dramatic” about a good Irish squad despite an upsetting game against France in Paris.
Andrew did warn that Italy will be a tough game on Saturday, but going to Twickenham will be a “big ask” for the team when they face off against England next week.
He also told Patrick about his children and how while his son has followed his footsteps into rugby, his daughters prefer singing, dancing and K-Pop Demon Hunters.
