Duffy and O'Connor commit to Connacht

Ireland internationals Gavin Duffy and Johnny O'Connor have both signed three-year contract extensions at Connacht.

It means that utility back Duffy, 27, and openside specialist O'Connor, 29, are committed to Connacht to the end of the 2012 season.

"They are a big influence on and off the park and it is great that they have committed to Connacht for the next three seasons," said Connacht manager Tim Allnut.
