Connacht extend contracts of two of their rising stars

Connacht have announced contract extensions for two more members of their promising young squad.

Full-back Darragh Leader and front-row Denis Buckley have inked new deals, keeping them with the province until 2017.

Both players have started all but two of Connacht's games this season, with Leader this month included in Joe Schmidt's 37-man Ireland training squad.

Connacht are currently 6th in the Pro 12 table, having targeted a Top 7 finish at the start of the season with young players like Ireland centre Robbie Henshaw and scrum-half Kieran Marmion impressing.
