Leinster

[edit | edit source]

The former Castleknock College player established himself as a senior player with Leinster, chalking up more than a century of senior provincial caps. On 27 March 2021, he made his 262nd appearance for Leinster in a victory over Munster in the grand final of the 2020–21 Pro14, exceeding Gordon D'Arcy's provincial appearance record.[2][3]

In March 2022, Toner announced that he would be retiring at the end of the 2021-22 season.[4]

Ireland

[edit | edit source]

Toner made his Ireland Wolfhounds debut in the 2009 Churchill Cup against Canada in June 2009, and helped his side win the tournament in Denver with a win against the England Saxons.[5][6]

He was selected by Ireland's head coach Declan Kidney to make his International debut for Ireland against Samoa on 13 November 2010 during the 2010 end of year rugby tests.[7] He then came off the bench against New Zealand and Argentina during the following week.[8] Toner was a regular starter for Ireland at lock from 2013 to 2018.[9]

Toner was left out of Joe Schmidt's squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, with Schmidt instead selecting Jean Kleyn ahead of him, along with Iain Henderson, Tadhg Beirne and James Ryan as the other locks.[10][11][12] Toner last appeared for Ireland in February 2020 in the Six Nations.[13]
