Trial period ends with short-term deal for Munster centre
By Josh Raisey
Munster have handed centre Bryan Fitzgerald a three-month contract extension after joining the club on trial over the summer.
The 25-year-old joined Graham Rowntree’s squad from Garryowen after a standout season in the All-Ireland League Division 1B as they earned promotion to Division 1A.
Fitzgerald also scored two tries as he vice-captained an AIL Select XV against Munster A in May.
Since arriving, the centre has made two United Rugby Championship appearances for Munster, coming on from the bench to score in a loss to Zebre and starting in a win over the Ospreys the following week.
He has also had two runouts for Garryowen in the AIL this season, including the recent loss to St Mary’s College.

Yes. Departure of good coaches for no externally visible reason. Not even a cover story. Could be a major rugby disagreement or a compensation issue. Or maybe it's about an interventionist RFU administration. Whatever the reason it does look like a raised middle finger.
Go to commentsNo. He’s needed back home. Potential future Bok coach once Rassie gets tired and retires. Ackerman is key to sourcing and unlocking future talent. What a score for SA rugby.
