But most of the time these days he\u2019s watching a lot of television. \u201cI watched Love\/Hate,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was nice to see Nidge getting taken down. Homeland. The Fall. I\u2019ve rewatched Game of Thrones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trimble is home alone, all day. His wife, Anna, is a doctor, and a busy one. \u201cIt\u2019s tough on her,\u201d he says, \u201cbecause she comes home knackered and I can\u2019t even put the bins out. I\u2019ve never slept so much or relaxed so much in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Ulster and Ireland winger received a ligament injury to his big toe during Ulster\u2019s Pro12 game against Glasgow on October 11th.
