When Connacht Rugby decided to announce 21 new player contracts in March 2021, they decided to do things a little differently.
19 players from the existing Professional squad have renewed deals for next season while a further two players, Oran McNulty and Cian Prendergast, have been promoted from the Connacht Academy.
The announcement included four Irish internationals – Finlay Bealham, Jack Carty, Ultan Dillane and Dave Heffernan – while joint-leading Guinness PRO14 try-scorer Alex Wootton has signed on a permanent contract having joined on loan from Munster last summer.
The young stars they got to make the announcement were a bit special as well.
