Ulster Bank League profiles: Leamy acquisition a coup for Garryowen

"The British & Irish Cup is good for getting a Munster group together but most of those lads have put on a Munster Jersey at some stage, they don’t need to know what it's like. They’ve done that loads of times."

The Dooradoyle outfit are shorn of some big names in last season’s captain Josh Hrstich who secured a contract in Hong Kong while Shane Buckley and Jordan Coghlan have pursued their careers across the channel in Nottingham.

Having said that, the addition of Denis Leamy to the coaching team is a phenomenal coup for Garryowen and Conan Doyle is sure the two-time Heineken Cup winner will “get the most out of the players”.
