Rory Burke, Rest In Peace

All at Munster Rugby are deeply saddened to hear of the sudden passing of our former player and friend, Rory Burke.

Rory, who played his schools rugby with CBC and his club rugby with Cork Constitution, joined the Munster Academy in 2013. A hugely popular member of the Academy squad, Rory made his senior debut against Benetton in April 2017. A month later, Rory won an AIL title with Cork Constitution. That same year, Rory was a part of the title winning B&I Cup squad.

After his time with Munster, Rory played with Nottingham and Connacht.

Munster Rugby would like to extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Sarah, and parents Paul and Karen and to Rory’s wider family and friends, at this very difficult time.

He will be greatly missed by the Munster family and to all of those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

May he rest in peace.
