On the move.
Connacht head coach Stuart Lancaster looks set to raid his old club, Leinster, once again for another Ireland international as he looks to improve his squad at the Dexcom further ahead of next season.
Lancaster has already agreed a deal to bring Ciaran Frawley west from Leinster next season, and a fellow Ireland international looks set to join him.
According to Murray Kinsella in The 42, Will Connors will also make the switch to Connacht next season after agreeing a deal with the western province.
Connors has struggled for minutes with Leinster in recent seasons, having been hampered by a number of injury issues.
But the 9-cap Ireland international is still only 29 and has proven his ability in the past, with the flanker notably famous for his incredible ‘chop tackling’ ability.
Another potentially excellent bit of business from Connacht. A huge chance, too, for Connors to remind everyone how good he can be.
