Etching their names into the 'ones to watch' category immediately were a handful of potential breakthrough stars. Setting the standard of their own were several seasoned veterans who hit the ground running as they looked to hold off the challengers for their place atop the rugby food chain. 

Hitting the lab and factoring in the top statistical performers as well as though who simply passed the eye test, the FloRugby team have found their star performer of round one.

Taking the mantle as FloRugby's Player Of The Round in the opening weekend of action was Leinster captain Jack Conan.

Starting at number eight in place of regular captain Caelen Doris, the British and Irish Lions' backrow reaffirmed that he remains a star in his own right.

Dragging his team to victory against a top-quality Edinburgh side, the 32-year-old scored the decisive try to cap off what was a significant statistical outing.

Topping the carries (24) and maters made (78) stat lines as well as finishing second in tackles (14), Conan got the first mark on the board in his favoured position of number eight ahead of Doris's return.

This performance, combined with Conan's ability to maintain consistency of performance across a season, will no doubt see him be one of the top performers in this season's BKT United Rugby Championship.
