Munster sign South African centre
By Online Editors
Munster head coach Johann van Graan has returned to his native South Africa to make his latest signing.
According to reports Dries Swanepoel will join the club from the Bulls, after he failed to make their Super Rugby squad for the 2018 season.
The 25-year-old, who made his Super Rugby debut in 2016, was a regular feature in the Currie Cup last season.
He won a bronze medal at the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship, in a backline which featured Handre Pollard.
Munster have been hit by injuries at centre with Chris Farrell out for the rest of the season, after picking up an ACL injury while training with Ireland during the Natwest 6 Nations. Jaco Taute is also a long-term absentee with a knee injury.
Meanwhile Munster captain Peter O'Mahony believes that Munster will have to up their game if they're to beat Toulon in the Champions Cup quarter-finals.
"We've got to have the best performance of the season so far if we're going to be in with a shot." O'Mahoney said.

Kyle Preston looks the goods. Fit , had great form for Wellington in the NPC. He is going to do well for the Crusaders. Like his last name sake Jon Preston, ( who played for Canterbury and Wellington, same position in the 1990's), he is one of the fittest around. Great he mentions Mitchell Drummond. As he said he is a great mentor and leader in the Crusaders.
