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.

It fascinates me that the mob who change laws at the drop of a hat haven't invested much time into reducing the effectiveness of the box kick as a weapon. There's nowhere near enough jeopardy.
Ban pillars so charge downs are a real risk
Kill the caterpillar dead.
Reward the defensive catcher in some way. Allow a mark anywhere on the field from a box kick?

All the disrespect and insults in the world won’t make your team better at passing, all the harnessed anger won’t improve the communication between defenders or make kicks not accurate.
It’s like someone getting mad and getting into a fight; it doesn’t matter how mad you are, if the other person has had even one month of combat training you are not winning that fight.
It’s a joke in combat sports; “you don’t know me when I’m mad, bro…”
More true for rugby at this level where the margins are so fine.
Emotion counts for pretty much nothing other than marketing.
So no Robertson won’t give a rats what Rieko says or how or anyone feels about it.
He will be much more focused on accuracy of skill set under pressure.
Which, if I may be harsh on my own team, has sucked the dogs nuts so far this season.
