Career

O'Boyle joined the Munster academy ahead of the 2005–06 season,[1] and progressed to a development contract with the province ahead of the 2006–07 season.[2] In 2007, O'Boyle was part of the Garryowen team that defeated Cork Constitution 16–15 in the All-Ireland League Division 1 final.[3] He made his senior debut for Munster in their 28–14 win against Edinburgh on 22 February 2009, with O'Boyle scoring the try that clinched a bonus-point for the province.[4] He also scored a try for Munster during his second appearance for the province in their 20–9 win against Newport Gwent Dragons on 7 March 2009,[4] however, he also sustained a torn hamstring during the game, ruling him out for two months.[4] Despite this setback, O'Boyle was promoted to a full contract for the 2009–10 season, but he was released by Munster at the end of that season and returned to the amateur club scene with Garryowen.[5]
