Connacht's Oisin Dowling

Promising Connacht lock Oisín Dowling is hoping to crown a two-year contract extension at the Sportsground this week by making his Heineken Champions Cup debut on Sunday against Stade Francais.

The former Ireland U20 had made a dozen appearances for Andy Friend’s side since moving to Galway last year and has now penned a new deal which will keep him with Connacht until the summer of 2024.
