Ireland wing Jacob Stockdale ready to end try drought


reland's Jacob Stockdale feels he's a better player now than he was in his breakthrough season in 2018.

The Ulster winger scored seven tries as Ireland secured the Grand Slam and Six Nations title two years ago but he's not gone over the try-line in his last six international games.

"I'm enjoying myself a lot more, I'm more solid defensively, I am getting my hands on the ball more than in 2018," the 23-year-old said ahead of Sunday's trip to play England in the Guinness Six Nations.

"Every winger knows you are going to experience dry spots, times where passes don't get thrown to you, where you don't get the walk-ins that a winger needs to feed off every now and again to get those tries.

"It just happens to be that the tries aren't coming my way. I am really happy with where my game is at the moment, I am really enjoying my rugby.

"Hopefully, a couple of tries will come my way in the next few weeks.

"Looking at the first two rounds, things have been going pretty well. We still have to get that 100% knowing where each other is, but we are definitely getting there."
