Graham Rowntree has told the Irish Examiner he will be ready “sooner than later” to institute some major personnel changes in his Munster squad.

The URC champions are expected to announce a new fly-half signing for next season shortly, understood to be Ulster’s Billy Burns, as an experienced replacement for the exiting Joey Carbery as back-up to first-choice Jack Crowley and have signed the now Ireland-capped tighthead prop Oli Jager ahead of schedule from Super Rugby champions Crusaders.
