Overview
- Bernard Jackman reported on The 42’s Rugby Weekly Extra podcast that Ciarán Frawley is set to join Connacht for the 2026–27 season.
- At a Leinster media briefing, Jacques Nienaber praised Frawley as an outstanding and important figure but said no agreement has been finalised.
- Nienaber added that contracting is led by Leo Cullen and Guy Easterby, with his role limited to rugby input.
- Frawley has covered 10, 12, and 15 for Leinster, and reports indicate Connacht intend to use him primarily at out-half.
- He has nine Ireland caps, has often been on the bench for Leinster’s biggest fixtures, and has appeared once in Ireland’s last 12 Tests.
