LEICESTER’S Johne Murphy will join Munster at the end of the season after agreeing a two-year deal. The 25-year-old Ireland A international has made 93 appearances for the Tigers, scoring 27 tries, and was their leading try-scorer last season.

Munster coach Tony McGahan said: “His strong ball carrying, strong individual defence and finishing ability from either wing or fullback are some of the attributes we are looking forward to Johne bringing to the backline division.
