Billy Burns: Munster sign Ulster fly-half on one-year deal

Billy Burns joined Ulster from Gloucester in 2018

Munster have announced the signing of Ireland international Billy Burns with the fly-half to make the switch from Ulster this summer.

The 29-year-old, who joins on a one-year deal, has played 107 times for Ulster since joining from from Gloucester in 2018.

Bath-born Burns, who is Irish-qualified through his grandfather, has won seven international caps.

Burns' arrival at Munster will coincide with Joey Carbery's move to France.

Munster confirmed in January that the Ireland fly-half will leave at the end of the season for "a new playing opportunity outside of Ireland".

Burns made his Ireland debut against Wales in the 2020 Autumn Nations Cup.
