Connacht finished 11th in last season’s United Rugby Championship
Cian Prendergast, Wilkins believes the 24-years-old embodies what the club stands for this season and in the future, delivering a “work ethic, mindset, and understanding of the game”.
“He’s certainly not the only one in the group with those attributes, but in terms of being a standard-bearer for us this season, I think it’s perfect in that regard.
Connacht will head to Thomond Park to face Munster with a clean bill health – with only JJ Hanrahan on the long-term injury list. “That’s really important to us,” says Wilkins, in his second season in charge and his eighth with the province. “We know from last season, one win or a few bonus points here and there can make a massive difference. So we’ve got that longer term goal for the season, but it’s what we’re doing week-to-week that’s going to earn us the right.”
