Munster head coach believes Ulster outhalf can also play vital role with province’s young No 10s
‘I want him to challenge Jack’: Munster boss Rowntree sets target for Burns“He’s been around, played international rugby, played at the highest end and been in some big games with Ulster. Joey’s decided he’s going to taste something different at this point in his career, I can’t blame him.
“I actually think the way we play the game will really suit him and a change of scenery and he was just really excited by it and I was too, having spoken to him. I think he’ll be a great acquisition for us.” The Munster head coach expects Burns to hit the ground running when 28-year old Carbery leaves for France.
“We’ve got some great young talent coming through like Tony Butler, Dylan Hicks, Tom Wood but we need a bit of experience. Someone who can help those young guys come through and someone who can play, someone who we think will actually challenge Jack as well. So he ticks a lot of boxes there.”
