He has won 71 caps and was part of last season’s Guinness Six Nations Grand Slam campaign following previous title successes in 2014, 2015, and 2018. He is now part of the 42-strong squad in training for the upcoming Rugby World Cup in France.

“Iain has developed into an important leader within both the Ireland and Ulster environments, and we are delighted to have ensured that he continues his career in Ireland,” said IRFU performance director David Nucifora. “I have no doubt that he will continue to add positively to both environments in the months and years to come.”

“It’s an incredible honour pulling on my provincial and international colours and I believe that there is more to come as we look to build in the months ahead.”
