Hanrahan got the first try of Munster's No.10 jersey and got off to an excellent start, scoring a try and kicking four from six conversion attempts. With Joey Carbery coming off the bench in the second half, Hanrahan's 54 minutes at outhalf were a nice marker to lay down.
The Currow native's try was a team effort but the final thrusts came when Carbery found Stephen Archer and the prop moved the ball on to Rory Scannell. The inside centre got the call from Hanrahan, who took a smart inside line, and Cheetahs were cut open.
That was Hanrahan's 11 try in Munster colours but, interestingly, four of them have come in his opening game of the season. In 2013/14, he got his season underway against Edinburgh while he scored a brace against edinburgh on his season's bow in 2017/18.
He will hope that this season does not mirror last's, personally speaking. Hanrahan only started nine games at outhalf and did not cross the whitewash again.
Cian Kelleher's excellent outing against Glasgow Warriors was just one of a few positives from Connacht's tough opening day loss. He constantly cut a swathe across The Sportsground and dotted down for a fine try when Jack Carty delivered a perfectly-weighted cross-field kick that made his task all the easier.
Craig Ronaldson's last-minute penalty, from 45 metres, fell short and Glasgow took five points home with them.
The other nominees are George North (Ospreys), Rhodri Williams (Dragons) and our personal favourite, Zebre's Jimmy Tuivati and his rollicker against the Kings.
