Most rugby players whose clubs are out of contention for silverware are looking forward to the end of the season and a summer break but Connacht’s Gavin Thornbury, understandably, wishes it would just keep going on.

The 28-year old has just returned from a frustrating 11-month break from a shoulder injury and just as he is starting to string a few games together, Connacht’s season is about to end.
