Even Billy Burns was surprised to hear just how long it has been since he was last capped by Ireland . On Monday night at the RDS, the Ulster out-half delivered the type of commanding performance which tends to tempt questions about Test rugby ambitions. In a 22-21 win for Ulster Burns was superb, managing the game smartly and providing three impressive try assists from his boot.
With Andy Farrell currently weighing up his options at 10 following Johnny Sexton’s retirement, it was a timely reminder of Burns’ ability when he’s on form. The 29-year-old has been capped seven times for Ireland but slipped out of the out-half conversation since winning his most recent cap in July 2021 after enduring some difficult days in the green jersey and struggling for consistency with Ulster. Burns set-up three tries with his kicking game against Leinster
