Arno Botha to leave Munster and return to Blue Bulls

Munster Rugby have confirmed that Arno Botha will depart for South Africa’s Blue Bulls next month after spending two years at the province.

The powerful back-row forward scored eight tries in 43 appearances and is Munster’s top try-scorer this campaign.

Botha, an explosive ball carrier who plays flanker and number eight, played his entire professional career with the Blue Bulls before moving to London Irish in January 2018.

He joined Munster ahead of the 2018/19 season and spent two successful years here, featuring in 43 of Munster’s 50 games in that time.

Watch all six of his tries this year below.
