Ireland and Munster back row forward Denis Leamy has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, the southern Irish province said in a statement on Wednesday.

Leamy was injured in the last play of Sunday's bonus point 37-14 Heineken Cup victory at Perpignan and was operated on in Dublin on Tuesday.

He will miss Ireland's Six Nations defence which begins in February and Munster's bid for a third European title.
