Munster coach tips flanker Conor Oliver for top

Young flanker Conor Oliver has been tipped for the top by Munster A head coach Peter Malone following a series of stellar displays.

Oliver won successive man of the match awards in Munster A’s B&I Cup win over Ealing Trailfinders and in the senior Guinness PRO12 win over Glasgow.

The 21-year-old openside scored two and made another of Munster’s three tries as they saw off the Ealing challenge with an excellent display to book a place in a home final against Jersey Reds. He was then at his destructive best in helping Munster get past Glasgow to give credence to Malone’s view that a bright future beckons.
