BAYONNE have joined the list of suitors for Munster's Springbok second row Jean Kleyn, who looks set to leave the province next summer.

Kleyn (32), whose contract expires in June, is high on Bayonne's wanted list though there is the complication of his South Africa ambitions heading into the 2027 World Cup.
