Connacht flanker Seán O’Brien is keeping his fingers crossed as he enjoys a run of games free from the injuries which have disrupted his first two seasons in Galway.

Already he has doubled the number of games he played last season and on Sunday in Montpellier he will match the nine matches he featured in during his first campaign with Connacht after joining from Leinster.
