Belfast Crown Court has heard Stuart Olding told police a woman’s claim he forced her to perform oral sex on him was “incorrect”.
The Ireland and Ulster rugby player, along with his teammate Paddy Jackson, is accused of raping the woman at Jackson’s Belfast home in 2016.
The trial is continuing with eleven jurors because one of the male jurors is not well enough to take part.

During his interviews, Mr Olding also denied her claim that a third man walked in “completely naked” while he was still in the bedroom.
His solicitor concluded one of the interviews by saying his client “categorically denied” the allegation.
