Colm O’Connor

Connacht legend Eric Elwood was also amongst those honoured when he was inducted into the IRUPA Barker Hall of Fame.

O’Connor said: “To win this award has added to a great season for me personally. For the other players to vote for me as the best player for 2005 gives me great pride and will only encourage me to go on to achieve greater things as my career develops. This is the top rugby award in Ireland and no one can take that away from me.”
