Video | Introducing Neil Cronin

New signing Neil Cronin is enjoying the busy pre-season training schedule as the Garryowen man adjusts to life as a professional rugby player. The scrum-half signed for the province over the summer after making a huge impression as Garryowen captain in the All Ireland League. The 25-year-old was a teacher at St Munchin's prior to joining the province and made four appearances for Munster in the 2014/15 campaign. In his first interview since joining the province, Cronin discusses pre-season training, transitioning from the life of a full-time schoolteacher to a professional rugby player and a bit of sibling rivalry with his brother, Leinster and Ireland hooker Sean Cronin.
