Former Ireland flanker Alan Quinlan has encouraged Andy Farrell to “roll the dice” with in-form Ulster centre James Hume in next month's tour of New Zealand.
A combination of Robbie Henshaw, Garry Ringrose and Bundee Aki have been Farrell’s preferred midfield pairing on the international stage in recent times.
But Hume has been one of Ulster’s stand-out stars this season and shone in a try-scoring performance in Friday night’s thumping URC quarter-final win over Munster in Belfast.
