'Non-stop' Connors praised for dominant performance against Munster

Will Connors travelled down to Limerick at the weekend with his name on top of Leinster’s dominant tackle chart back at their Dublin training centre and it would not be a surprise to see him remain there following another robust performance for the flanker in this defeat of Munster.

Connors, 23, capped an excellent week for himself that began with a spot in Andy Farrell’s training squad at the 24-hour Ireland mini-camp in west Dublin, by chopping Munster down to size with 23 tackles and none missed at Thomond Park on Saturday as the Guinness PRO14’s defending champions stretched their unbeaten record in all competitions this season to 13 wins from 13.
