Injury-hit O’Loughlin calls it quits at Connacht

ANOTHER Irish rugby player has been forced to retire because of injury.

Connacht’s scrum-half Conor O’Loughlin has had to quit the game with a hip injury, a week after Munster’s Ian Dowling’s medically-ordered retirement.

The westerner sustained an injury to his hip in December 2006 against Montpellier.
