The reason behind Declan Hannon not giving an acceptance speech after winning the Division 1 and Munster cups last month? According to the man himself, he was following instructions.

“I’ve been told not to. It’s strange. The league final and the Munster, you were putting up the cup and putting it back down and then it’s head off over to the dressing rooms again. That’s the way it is, we’d obviously like to acknowledge a lot of people but the way things are with Covid it was just about respecting all the boundaries that we were being told to follow.”
