“I love it, I love the club. I am from a similar region, a similar area. It reminds me of my time with Munster,” he said. Born and raised in County Kerry, then schooled in County Tipperary, Hanrahan made his debut for Munster as a teenager, representing both Ireland U20s and Emerging Ireland during his first stint with the province. After two years at Northampton, he rejoined Munster for a second spell, taking his total number of appearances for them up to 141, ahead of spending a year with Clermont and then opting for the Dragons.

“Rugby is a physical game and if you don’t meet a team like the Stormers on the gain-line, you are chasing them all day. We properly got smacked in the mouth in the first half.”
