After appearing in every game during Ireland’s successful Six Nations odyssey, he added a Pro12 title to his list of honours back in May.

However, despite making a massive impression at provincial and international levels, the St Mary’s College man was largely restricted to a place amongst the replacements for the run-in to both successes.
