Munster prop Ryan set to join Top 14’s Toulon

MUNSTER prop Timmy Ryan looks poised to follow Leinster’s Felipe Contepomi to French Top 14 club, Toulon this summer.

Ryan, who’ll turn 25 in June, hit the headlines earlier this season for his barnstorming first-half performance against the All Blacks last November.

The tight-head was on a development contract with Munster but, since that outing against New Zealand, the Cork man has made just four more appearances as a replacement. However, he proved an important cog in Cork Con’s rise to the top of the AIB League in the regulation season.
