Paul O'Connell is an influential player for both Munster and Ireland
|
Paul O'Connell, Denis Leamy, David Wallace and John Hayes have all agreed contract extensions with Munster.
Ireland and Lions lock O'Connell and back-row forward Leamy have signed to play for the Irish province until the end of the 2011/12 season.
Wallace and Hayes have signed deals to stay with Tony McGahan's outfit until the end of the 2009/10 campaign.
Hayes is Ireland's most capped prop while flanker Wallace has made 50 appearances for his country.
Irish RFU Chief Executive Philip Browne said that the new contracts indicated the governing body's "continued desire to keep as many of our top professional players within the provincial structures".
"The news that four players of this calibre and standing in the world game have committed themselves to continue their careers in Ireland is a testament to the positive playing environment that has been put in place for them," added Browne.
