MUNSTER HEAD COACH Graham Rowntree believes new signing Billy Burns can make a huge impact with the province and can push Jack Crowley to new heights.
Burns, who is 29, has been in Belfast for the past six seasons after moving from Gloucester where he also spent half a dozen seasons.Advertisement “We need someone with a bit of experience and he’s at a crossroads in his career,” said Rowntree. “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.”
