Meanwhile Donnacha Ryan’s impending move from Munster to France may be the result of a contract dispute between the province and the IRFU.

According to reports this morning the governing body were unwilling to offer Ryan an extension to his central contract due to his age, much to the displeasure of Munster.

Ryan turns 34 in December, but the province are believed to be unhappy with the reasoning given Jamie Heaslip – who is one week older – had his contract extended last month.

The second row is set to link up with Ronan O’Gara at Racing 92 from the start of next season.
