Irish international Burns among Munster departures

Fly-half Billy Burns will leave Munster at the conclusion of the 2024-25 season.

The former Gloucester player joined the province last summer after spending six seasons with Ulster.

The 30-year-old has won seven caps for Ireland having made his debut against Wales in 2020.

Munster, who will be under new head coach Clayton McMillan next season, have also confirmed that Scott Buckley, Patrick Campbell, Liam Coombes, Jack Daly and Cian Hurley will depart Thomond Park once the season has concluded.

It had previously been announced that Peter O'Mahony, Conor Murray, David Kilcoyne and Stephen Archer are also in their last seasons with the side.

Munster face Edinburgh on Friday evening knowing that victory will secure their spot in the United Rugby Championship play-offs and next season's Champions Cup.
