Canterbury prop Peter Borlase will join Irish club Munster once this season's national championship is over.
Borlase, 25, who has had 20 games for the province and two Super rugby appearances with the Crusaders, will be missed, provincial coach Rob Penney said.
Borlase, 25, made his Canterbury debut against South Canterbury in 2006.
