Matches against Connacht have been significant for Craig Casey in his burgeoning career but they will take on added significance from next season when his uncle Mossy Lawler will be plotting against him.

Lawler, capped 67 times by Munster, has been promoted to attack coach with Connacht having spent five seasons coaching in their academy, and having played a key part in his nephew’s development, will soon be trying to win against him.
