Jacob Stockdale News

Taking It Offline,Ulster

Ulster’s Jacob Stockdale on why he quit social media years ago.

THOUGH JACOB STOCKDALE has been off social media for several years now, the recent birth of his second daughter prompted a notable return to Instagram in the aftermath of last month’s home win over Benetton.

“I’m not on Instagram anymore, I still have the account, but my wife tends to manage it more often than I do,” he said. “Hannah brought Phoebe, our first, along when it was my first game back after my ankle injury , so we decided, ‘you know what, we’ll do the same for number two.’“Carrying Bonnie around on the pitch for a wee while afterwards, and after I had carried Phoebe out onto the pitch, those are the moments, those wee moments, those wee memories will stay with you for life,” said Stockdale who starts in Saturday’s must-win URC clash at the Scarlets.

“The manner in which I started my career meant I was always probably going to be scrutinised a bit more and at the start I struggled with that.
