About this episode
My next guest is Sammy Arnold. He spoke to me on his birthday which was at the start of lockdown. At the time he was still a Munster player but he has now moved to Connacht. You’ll remember Sammy Arnold because he played for Ulster, having chosen us over Harlequins because he wanted to play at centre for Ireland (which he did by the way). He made his debut for Ulster at the age of 18 and won the Academy player of the year award that season. After moving to Munster, his performances were so good they earned him an Ireland call up and he got his first cap against the USA. Sammy’s only 24 and I am sure he’ll tear it up for Connacht and win a load more Ireland caps before he’s done.
