Brian Gleeson, Head of Sport at Virgin Media Television, said: “Rugby evolves at an incredible pace and having someone of Conor’s experience who has only just stepped off the pitch gives us invaluable insight into the modern game and the current Ireland setup. It’s fantastic to add a Munster voice to our already strong panel of studio analysts, ably led by Joe Molloy and what an incredible way to kick off our coverage on Thursday night against France in Paris.”
