DEBUT: v Sharks, October 2023


While he only turned 20 in February 2024, Gleeson has been fast-tracked into Munster's senior squad from the academy this season.

The Tipperary forward was a standout on the Ireland side that won an U20 Six Nations Grand Slam, and reached the final of the World Rugby U20 Championship in 2023.

The Garryowen clubman made his Munster debut in the opening game of last season against the Sharks, and earned ten appearances over the campaign, three of those coming in the Champions Cup.
