1-Test Bok moves from Munster to Irish rivals Leinster

The 26-year-old, who played one Test for the Boks against Wales in Washington DC in 2018, joined Munster last season but has been hampered by injury since his move from Toyota Verblitz in Japan and has only played for the province on one occasion.

When you consider the addition of the four South African teams to the United Rugby Championship we believe that Jason is the right profile for us and that he will also add hugely from his experiences in other environments."
