Denis Hurley and BJ Botha exit as Munster trim squad

BJ Botha and Denis Hurley headlined a list of departing players from Munster as plans for life under incoming director of rugby Rassie Erasmus continue to take shape, writes Simon Lewis.

The two veterans, along with wing Gerhard van der Heever, scrum-half Cathal Sheridan, back rowers Shane Buckley, and the previously announced Jordan Coghlan have all played their last games for the province.
