O’Gara has new understudy as Warwick agrees terms with Munster

CONNACHT fly-half Paul Warwick is to join Munster at the end of the season. The 26-year-old will be Ronan O’Gara’s understudy next season after agreeing terms with Kidney’s men.

Warwick has made 65 appearances for Connacht since joining them from Manly in 2004 on a one-year deal.

His haul of 97 points made him the top scorer in the European Challenge Cup in his first season and led to a two-year contract extension. A former Australian U-21, his appearances for the Aussie sevens side, which he captained, have ruled him ineligible to play for Ireland.
