Foley praises in-form Munster wing Conway

Conway, currently uncapped at senior international level, has been left out of the initial 37-man Ireland squad to face South Africa, Georgia and Australia next month.

But the 23-year-old, who has made four GUINNESS PRO12 appearances so far this season, responded in superb fashion against Saracens on Friday with another strong showing - following a try-scoring performance in the win at Sale six days earlier.

And Foley says it is only a matter of time before the wing gets the nod for Ireland.

"He is a talent and Ireland are fortunate to have him as a fella they can leave out," Foley told the Irish Examiner.

"Maybe he'll get in there for a game, I hope he does and I think he deserves it but he doesn't we'll benefit out of that.

"He's a hard man to leave out of your team. He turns up to work and gets the work done. He was going up there for balls against (David) Strettle and (Chris) Ashton and was winning those contests.

"They're the little things that happen but he spends 15 to 20 minutes at the end of training doing that.

"He does a lot of work both on and off the pitch. He understands the game. His other position is 15 and he understands how to play in the back three."
