Conway takes new route after being caught in Leinster bottleneck

The vast reservoir of talent available in Leinster has prompted several of their brightest young stars to broaden their horizons in the quest for first team rugby.

And Munster have benefited handsomely with Ian Keatley and Niall Ronan just two who have made the transition seamlessly. They have now been joined by potentially the most exciting talent of all, Andrew Conway, who regularly captured the headlines during his schooldays at Blackrock College and who seemed destined for a career at the very highest level.

Unfortunately for him, he arrived in the Leinster squad three years ago at a time when he found his way blocked by a whole host of outstanding players like Rob Kearney, Isa Nacewa, Luke Fitzgerald and several others.
