If this is the end, and it’s not, it was one hell of a ride!
Niyi Adeolokun stepped up when it counted over the last couple of months.
The Connacht winger was having a fine 2015/16 but, coming into April, felt he should have scored more than five tries. Against Munster, during an impressive home win, he immediately set about rectifying that with a double.
He scored again in the semi-final win over Glasgow Warriors and was only denied another by an eagle-eyed T.M.O. No bother, Connacht marched on to the final and Adeolokun scored again.

The 25-year-old, who was spotted by Pat Lam when playing for D.C.U, was one of Connacht’s star men in the Guinness PRO12 final victory over Leinster.
He certainly partied it up, post-match, and had the entire Connacht dressing room dancing. On Sunday, he took to Instagram to share a snap with teammate Jake Heenan and to pay homage to Conor McGregor’s infamous ‘retirement’ tweet from earlier this year.

We’re confidently predicting Adeolokun will be back in the green of Connacht next season. As for Ireland, it’s only a matter of time and tries.
