Rugby:Munster have confirmed the capture of Leinster's Andrew Conway on a two-year contract starting from next season.

On the day Leinster fans learned of the departure of their most prized asset Jonathan Sexton, Conway’s exit to their nearest rivals is unlikely to go down well.

The 21-year-old winger has found himself down the pecking order at Leinster but his talent is not in doubt and a Munster invitation to Thomond Park has capitalised on his uncertainty.

Conway, who can also play fullback, is the Junior World Cup’s joint record tryscorer with New Zealand’s Zac Guildford on 10, after two tournaments yielded him five tries each.

He has scored five tries in 30 appearances for Leinster and made 10 appearances this season already.
