Munster confirm trio of signings, including two Springboks

Munster have confirmed that Damian de Allende, RG Snyman and Matt Gallagher will join the province at the beginning of the 2020/21 season.

The trio have signed two-year contracts that will see them remain with Munster Rugby until at least June 2022.

The World Cup winning Springbok duo of De Allende and Snyman are both currently playing in the Japanese Top League, while Matt Gallagher is with Saracens.

Commenting on the new signings, Head Coach Johann van Graan said, “From a business point of view I am really pleased that Munster Rugby has secured the calibre of these players.  In terms of Damian and RG, it’s testament to the worldwide standing of this club that two World Cup winning Springboks will arrive here next summer.

“On a personal level I know them both very well and in addition to being world-class athletes they are great men.  They will add value to everything we are striving to achieve at Munster, and I know our supporters will be eagerly looking forward to their arrival.

“Equally, getting Matt on board is fantastic for our backline options. He is an exciting young talent that can play in a number of positions and is from a great rugby pedigree.”
