Munster have signed centre Alex Nankivell from Super Rugby's Gallagher Chiefs - and secured veteran props Dave Kilcoyne and Stephen Archer on new one year deals.
Kiwi Nankivell, 26, will join the province at the start of next season on a two year contract as a direct replacement for Malakai Fekitoa, whose disappointing stay at Munster will come to an end in May.
Nankivell has made 58 appearances in the Chief's midfield over the past seven years and represented the Maori All Blacks in 2019 against Fiji, and also played for the All Blacks XV against Ireland A and the Barbarians last November.

Kilcoyne, 34, made his 50th Ireland appearance in last Saturday's Six Nations victory over France. Archer, 35, has two Ireland caps to his name.
Together the front row pair have made 468 appearances for Munster.
Their new deals follow John Ryan's decision to sign back for the Reds next summer, following his six month move to the Chiefs.
