Hartigan was one of two Buccs players involved in the Irish side – team captain David Quinlan being the other. Hartigan has also played for Garryowen in the AIB League.

He was also a member of the Connacht squad last season, scoring two tries in seven Celtic League outings with considerably more hair!
