While he revealed the province did their utmost to keep him within their ranks, Leo Cullen acknowledged he understands why Ciarán Frawley has made the decision to depart Leinster at the end of the current season.

A week after it was first reported a move out west was in the pipeline, Connacht confirmed yesterday morning that Frawley will be joining them from next season onwards on a two-year deal.
