Today we are very fortunate to be joined by new Irish International and Leinster back row Will Connors.

After a man of the match display on his debut for Ireland in the Autumn, we speak to Will all about that day and the journey he has been on to get there. From training in the Leinster academy, to his childhood inspirations and family heritage. Will talks fondly and reminisces about his debut and how he went out there with freedom and an attitude to enjoy himself.

Wills break through season sadly came to an end early due to a knee injury and so we chat to him about the cruel process of injury lay off and how his progress is going and what he's been doing to try and maximise his potential upon his return. Will also briefly played for Ireland 7's and we chat to him about their meteoric rise in world 7's.

Finally, we felt that we had to ask Will about his opinions on the final test between South Africa and the British and Irish Lions. Who he felt would come out on top, his opinion Warren Gatland's selection and his thoughts on the rest of the series already. Upon reflection clearly Will is probably not one to back your money on when it comes to predictions!

Many thanks to Will, nevertheless, for giving up his time and coming on to speak to us. We loved chatting to him and wish him the best of luck in his future as we believe he is a very exciting prospect to come and expect we will hear lots from him in the future.
