Ireland veteran Donncha O’Callaghan to leave Munster

Munster rugby supporters face another shock in the next day or two when news of Donncha O’Callaghan’s departure will be made official.

The Munster and Ireland veteran has been linked with an overseas club and is on the verge of signing a two-year deal after Munster apparently agreed to release him from the remainder of his current contract, which runs up to June 2016.

With O’Callaghan out of the country, there was no way to confirm the news of his imminent departure last night but sources close to the squad intimated the legendary second rower will definitely part ways with a province he has served brilliantly for 17 years.
