Another Munster blow as James Cronin set for Premiership switch

Another young Irish international is on his way to the English Premiership with Munster loosehead James Cronin very close to signing for a club there.

A source close to the player confirmed yesterday the deal was ‘75% done’ and the Ballincollig native is set to move across the water in the summer.

And in a further Munster blow, former academy lock Ian Nagle is set to join Leinster in the summer when he returns after a two-year break.
