Connacht bid farewell to a legend today as John Muldoon, on his 327th appearance, togged out for his native province for the last time. Since October 2003 the Sportsground has been home to the back row and they saw him off in style with a 47-10 win over Leinster including 7 tries.
Muldoon said during the week he was keen to leave the Sportsground on a positive and he did it in style, kicking the final two points to crown a resounding victory.
