Munster swoop for South African prop Du Preez

DISAPPOINTED Springbok hopeful Wian du Preez will get a chance to play in Europe this winter after all.

The Cheetahs prop has signed a three-month deal with Munster, following the news that Marcus Horan will be out of action at least until the new year.

Du Preez was the form loose-head in the Currie Cup this season and was part of the Cheetahs’ front row that was considered the best scrummaging force in the competition.
