Munster sign Paringatai

MUNSTER have signed another New Zealander, ex Maori representative Jake Paringatai, on a short term contract as cover for the injured John O’Sullivan.

Paringatai was recommended to Munster by recent Maori signing Rua Tipoki when it became apparent the province had problems replacing O’Sullivan, who recently had to undergo surgery for a cruciate ligament injury.

O’Sullivan sustained the injury in the first game of the season against the US Eagles in Chicago at the end of August and is not expected to be back in action until the end of March.
