Aussie Byrne signs two-year deal
Leinster have signed Australian second row forward Adam Byrnes on a two-year deal from Australian side the Eastern Suburbs.

The 6'7" lock forward has an EU passport and will link up with Michael Cheika and his new team-mates next week.

"He is a young, hard and aggressive player who will add competition and skills to the pack," said Cheika.

Meanwhile James Norton has agreed a new one-year deal with the province.

The winger is a former Ireland Schools and Under-21 player who Cheika believes will bring "pace and skill to the backline".

Leinster will soon have nobody left (rats leaving a sinking ship

) I see on another thread that the mullet is following cullen and heading to England. Cullen is no loss, he was useless.
