IRFU seek Ulster fly-half solution

The IRFU are hoping to find an Irish-qualified player in Ulster’s search for a new fly-half, but they will not be knocking on Munster’s door to replace Paddy Jackson.

The province has been searching for a No10 after revoking Jackson’s contract in April and have been linked with South African international Elton Jantjies.

The IRFU had hoped to persuade either Ross Byrne or Joey Carbery to leave Leinster for Ravenhill this summer, but both players declined the move, the latter opting to join Munster instead.
