Shane Patrick O'Leary (born 12 March 1993) is an Irish-born professional rugby union player who represents Canada at the international level.
O'Leary currently plays for Pro D2 side Rouen, and for the Toronto Arrows in Major League Rugby (MLR).
O'Leary qualifies as Canadian through his mother and first represented Canada when he played for their under-20 team at the 2013 Junior World Trophy.
O'Leary had previously worked with Grenoble skills coach Mike Prendergast, who gave him his debut at Young Munster.
[4] Prendergast and O'Leary made up part a significant Irish contingent for the team, along with scrum-half James Hart, forwards coach Bernard Jackman and the captain Andrew Farley, an Australian-born former Ireland A player.
[2] O'Leary impressed in the academy and was handed a debut for the senior side in the 2013–14 European Challenge Cup, coming on as a replacement against Bayonne on 10 October 2013.
[8] O'Leary continued to be used sparingly throughout the 2015–16 Pro12 campaign, but injuries to Jack Carty, AJ MacGinty and Craig Ronaldson led to him making more appearances later in the season.
[7] O'Leary was an unused substitute in the semi-final against Glasgow Warriors, but came on in the Grand Final against Leinster to help close out the game as Connacht claimed their first ever league title.
[21] On 29 March 2018, O'Leary will leave Ealing Trailfinders to sign for English Championship rivals Nottingham ahead of the 2018-19 season.
The faith in him was rewarded when he scored 45 points, finishing as the tournament's top scorer as Canada made it to the final, where they were beaten by the Italian under-20s.
