On the move.
Leinster and Ireland star Ciaran Frawley looks set to leave the province at the end of the season in search of more game time.
Bernard Jackman broke the news this week on the Rugby Weekly Extra podcast from The 42 that the 28-year-old is set to move west and join Connacht next season.
Frawley scored the winning drop goal for Ireland as they secured a famous win over the Springboks in South Africa, but has struggled for game time both domestically and internationally since.
He has fallen behind both Harry Byrne and Sam Prendergast in the pecking order at Leinster, with the report adding that Connacht will look to primarily deploy him at out-half.
This would be a welcome boost for not only Connacht and Frawley, but also Ireland, who would potentially have another 10 playing regularly ahead of the World Cup.
