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, looking 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 has found its star performer of Round 1.
Taking the mantle as FloRugby's Player of the Round in the opening weekend of action was Leinster captain Jack Conan.
Starting at No. 8 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 meters made (78) stat lines, as well as finishing second in tackles (14), Conan got the first mark on the board in his favored position of No. 8 ahead of Doris' return.
This performance, combined with Conan's ability to maintain consistency of performance across a season, no doubt will see him be one of the top performers in this season's BKT United Rugby Championship.
