John Muldoon looks set to remain involved in rugby and having built up considerable coaching experience during his playing career, Connacht supporters will be hoping that the province’s finest player will return in due course when he hangs up his boots in May.

Connacht captain John Muldoon said that Simon Zebo has probably put his international career ‘on the back burner’ by going to France, but the veteran star can understand why he has made the move.

The mayor of Galway said the Connacht rugby team epitomises all that is good about the West of Ireland.

John Muldoon believes Connacht are ready to seize their chance and complete a dream season by following in the path of unfancied Premier League champions Leicester City. 

From one Guinness PRO12 award winner to another, Connacht veteran John Muldoon has warned the rest of the league that there is much more to come from player of the season Bundee Aki.

Muldoon made his senior debut in 2004 and has since played 260 times for the province, including 58 European games.

John Muldoon becomes the first player to make 200 appearances in the Guinness Pro12 when he leads Connacht against Cardiff at Arms Park this evening (7.05pm).

Connacht captain John Muldoon has warned his men can’t get distracted about the possibility of creating history at Thomond Park tomorrow.
