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.

Looked up Grant Constable on google and reply was doppelgänger for Ben Smith
Go to comments“upon leaving said establishment I tripped over a stool knocking some bottles into the air and as I fell I accidently dislodged a police officer’s teaser who was passing by on an unrelated matter there by landing on said taser which caused it to discharge 50,000 watts into me. Out of shock I shouted Ireland are going to win the world cup. Upon waking up I apologised for the distress caused by my Ireland comment. The matter is closed. If you wish to pursue this matter may I remind you what I told Wayne Barnes when he sent me off. I AM A BIG ASS MAN”. Or was it “I AM A BIG ASS, MAN” or was it “I AM A BIG ASSMAN”?
