By Declan RooneyConnacht’s impressive centre Tom Farrell hasn’t heard anything from Joe Schmidt and says he is just going to keep performing for Andy Friend’s side and hope a call comes at some stage. The 25-year-old’s career has rocketed since he was sprung from Bedford Blues almost two years ago to solve a midseason injury crisis that Pat Lam was dealing with at the Sportsground. Farrell said Aki was a big help to him developing his game after he arrived in Galway. It gives you that platform to showcase yourself but you have to be kind of lucky as well. I was lucky in the sense that Connacht had quite a few injuries two years ago and Pat Lam was good enough to bring me over.
