Toner reaching for stars

Writing in the Irish Independent, Hugh Farrelly talks to rising Leinster star Devin Toner.

"He's heard them all before. From "what's the weather like up there?" to "woah, is the circus in town?"to the rather rudimentary Irish observation of "Jeez, you're fierce tall aren't ya?"

"What do you say in reply? "Ah, I'm wearing heels," or maybe you just nod and smile. Devin Toner is well used to pedestrians doing double takes as he strides by and the constant references to his height. None of it bothers him unduly and it cannot be denied that he has put his six feet and 10 inches to good use professionally."
