Munster to consider overseas option as they seek second-row replacement for departing Jean Kleyn
"Munster are set to weigh up their options in terms of whether or not they try to sign an NIQ (non-Irish-qualified) second-row as a direct replacement for Jean Kleyn, who will join Gloucester next season."
"The Irish Independent understands Munster offered Kleyn a contract extension but Gloucester offered the South African World Cup winner a three-year deal, which he subsequently accepted."
Jean Kleyn will join Gloucester next season after accepting a three-year deal from the club. Munster previously offered Kleyn a contract extension. Kleyn is a South African World Cup winner. Munster are set to evaluate whether to recruit a non-Irish-qualified (NIQ) second-row as a direct replacement for Kleyn. The evaluation will shape Munster’s recruitment approach for the second-row position ahead of the next season. Any decision on an NIQ signing will affect squad composition and available registration slots under relevant eligibility rules.
