Colm Reilly

Sharp around the fringes and tidy with his service, Colm Reilly is a scrum-half who has developed into a useful option for Connacht. Born on 8 September 1999, Reilly is known for his quick distribution, his willingness to snipe around the base, and his astute tactical kicking, all of which allow him to dictate tempo and keep his forwards on the front foot. He has featured for Connacht in both the United Rugby Championship and European competition, where his energy and game management make him a valuable contributor at number nine. Reilly brings pace and decisiveness to the position, often injecting urgency whether from the start or off the bench. As he continues to develop his understanding of the senior game, he provides important depth and competition at half-back, and remains a hard-working presence capable of influencing matches through his tempo and control.
