A handful of years ago Ulster winger Robert Baloucoune was preparing for college life in England and watching the Six Nations with mates in a pub.
Fast forward and the 24-year-old is part of Andy Farrell’s Ireland squad ahead of next month’s commencement of the latest edition of the famous old tournament.
It has been quite a journey for Baloucoune who was togging out for Enniskillen in the 2017 Towns Cup final before being snapped up by the Ulster Academy.
