Ulster's top tackler Alan O’Connor looking forward to Munster test

He may be only 24, but Ulster’s Dublin-born lock Alan O’Connor already looks a little grizzled. 

One would imagine he will be a little more grizzled when he leaves Thomond Park tomorrow afternoon when a typically-fired up Munster side will attempt to spoil fifth-placed Ulster’s hopes of making the Guinness Pro12 play-offs.

O’Connor came from Leinster to the Ulster Academy nearly five years ago, and after a breakthrough season last year, he’s beginning to motor again after injuries.
