Munster sign South African centre
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.

Go to commentsThe number of Irish body parts and limbs offside and/or laying about the rucks, or slowing rucks is definitely strategy. Andy Farrell is definitely coaching them to hug the line - despite what he says.
I hope that this area of the game is monitored carefully by Hollie Davidson so that Fiji gets a fair shake and ability to play to their strengths.
Which is fast and wide.
Fiji. 1 solitary point. That's all it takes. Take all the kickable penalties. Punish them out wide.
