Munster have reacted to an up-and-down season by announcing seven new signings to their squad for next season, including the sevens-times capped Springbok Trevor Halstead.

The 28-year-old Halstead said: "The reports were really very good about the Munster side, the set-up and the people over there. I only heard very positive things about everything. The vibe was really good.

"Then again you only have to look at some of the players they have - (Ronan) O'Gara, (Peter) Stringer, Paul O'Connell - guys like that who I knew about from the internationals. Then there is Christian Cullen who travelled across the world to play there.

"So when the opportunity came to play with Munster I took it, I made my mind up very quickly."

Connacht number 8 John O'Sullivan, former Munster lock Mick O'Driscoll, Shannon prop Tony Buckley, Ireland Under-21 scrum-half Tomas O'Leary, Bourgoin's Italian prop Federico Pucciariello and Old Crescent prop Eugene McGovern have also joined Declan Kidney's new revolution.
