Munster prop joins Connacht on loan

Connacht Rugby today confirmed that Peter Borlase will join the squad on a loan basis from Munster, with immediate effect.

The 26-year-old 120kg New Zealander will come in to provide cover at tighthead prop.

Connacht have been hit with a number of injuries over the course of the season and with both Dylan Rogers (hamstring) and Rodney Ah You (foot) missing from action and the experienced Borlase will provide extra depth in the crucial front-row position.
