Toner named Leinster player of month

Up-and-coming second row Devin Toner has been named Bank of Ireland Leinster Player of the Month for September and October.

It is a testament to the development of the former Castleknock College forward, who excelled over the eight games in two months.

Toner's consistency of performance and ball-winning ability was seen to good effect in the two Heineken Cup wins against Edinburgh and Wasps.
