Denis Leamy has committed his future to Munster Rugby for the next two years to give the province some welcome clarity after a month of turbulence following the departure of head coach Graham Rowntree.

The defence coach was due to be out of contract next summer and with Munster losing both Rowntree and forwards coach Andi Kyriacou, Leamy’s signature on a two-year deal offers some respite as the search for other coaching replacements continues.
