Ahead of the upcoming IRB Junior World Championship in Argentina, Ireland Under-20 back rower Paddy Butler has joined Munster’s band of Development contracted players for next season.
Paddy Butler, who impressed at number 8 for Ireland throughout the course of their RBS U-20 6 Nations title-winning campaign, featured for Munster in the recent British & Irish Cup final against Cornish Pirates.

The 19-year-old Butler and his team-mates begin the tournament on Saturday, June 5 with a crunch clash with France, the only team they lost to during the Six Nations.
