Wayne Pivac has recently said they will find it difficult to hold on to the lock.

The Welsh sides head coach has added fuel to the fire concerning Tadhg Beirnes next destination admitting that it will be very hard to keep the lock with the Pro 14 Champions.

The former Leinster player is keen to represent his country and would boost his chances of being picked by Joe Scmidt tenfold if he was to join an Irish province, and with Munster’s problem in the second row position, it seems they would be the perfect fit.

In the report in the Irish independent, David Kelly claims that Munster made contact with Beirne as far back as early spring, before the Pro 14 play-offs had even taken place, but nothing materialised as The Scarlets didn’t leave him break his contract.

Speaking after his side’s win over Edinburgh on Saturday evening, head coach Pivac conceded that the Kildare man could be on his way out.
