Denis Leamy

Denis Patrick Leamy (born 27 November 1981) is an Irish former rugby union player who is currently part of the coaching team with Munster.

[7] After finishing school in Rockwell, Leamy went to CIT to study Leisure Management, and started to play for UCC in the second division of the AIL.

As Leamy was not selected for the 2009 British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa, he played in Ireland's 2009 Summer Tests.

A hip injury ruled Leamy out of action for four months in January 2012,[13] meaning he missed selection for the 2012 Six Nations Championship.

[15] Speaking at the announcement, Leamy said: I find it hard to put into words how much it has meant to me to play for Munster and Ireland.

It was a dream come true and I was very lucky to play with some of the greatest players ever to wear the jerseys and feel blessed that I was part of winning teams.

I've had a great career, wish it had gone on a little longer but I'd like to thank all the coaches, players, medical staff and management who have helped me over the past decade.

I fully appreciate the sacrifices they've made, spending their hard earned cash to cheer us on, be it Munster or Ireland, at home games and all over Europe.

He was also part of the backroom team for the Tipperary side that won the 2016 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final.

[22] Leamy returned to his home province Munster to take up the defence coach role vacated by JP Ferreira on a three-year contract from the 2022–23 season.
