Munster Rugby have yet to confirm reports that South African centre Dries Swanepoel is set to sign a deal with the province that is said to be short term.
Swanepoel, is currently playing for South African Super Rugby team the Bulls and formerly played for the Junior Springboks.
He mostly plays as an inside centre and would be the perfect solution for Munster as both Jaco Taute and Chris Farrell recover from injuries respectively.
25 year old Swanepoel, would not arrive till after the European Champions Cup Quarter-Finals but would give the Munster back line a much-needed boost for the run-in to the Guinness PRO14 play-offs.
He is known in his native South Africa to be very physical centre and this is just what Munster need. Check out this highlights video below of Swanepoel, that shows his career bests so far.
