IRISH PROP CONAN O’Donnell has secured a deal to join Japanese outfit the Sunwolves for the second half of the Super Rugby season, following his departure from Connacht.
O’Donnell, who left his native province at the end of the season, has linked up with the Sunwolves in Australia ahead of their Super Rugby clash against the Brumbies on Sunday.
The Sunwolves, coached by former All Black Tony Brown, are bottom of the overall Super Rugby standings having won just two of their 11 games during the 2019 campaign.
22-year-old O’Donnell has had limited exposure at senior level with Connacht having been frustrated by a number of injury setbacks in recent seasons after breaking through with the Ireland U20s.
The loosehead started just one game for Andy Friend’s side this season, and while he featured off the bench six times, O’Donnell has left the Sportsground for a new challenge.

Did it on purpose the dirty pirate. Should be banned retrospectively.
Haven’t seen a stamp like that since Matt the Millers last week
Dirty nasty little man, only sad part is no chance of a little pay back, that yoke will rarely b on the same pitch as Messi again , and wouldn’t get into the same nightclubs , so that’s one to just suck up and move on .
Bad tackle
poor stamp in fairness but Enrique surely knows there’s almost twice the number of officials in NFL than soccer and is refereed and scrutinised much more intensely and fairly by each of them.
Ya just dont stamp on messi
