Munster snap up Oz starlet Chambers

MUNSTER may have found what they’ve been looking for, after signing Australian code-jumping sensation Will Chambers on a short-term contract.

The highly rated 23-year-old centre was recently let go by Super 15 champions Queensland Reds after two years — the reasoning more on financial constraints than any lack of rugby ability, according to top Brisbane rugby sources.

The decision alleviates some of the salary cap pressure for the Reds and also helps them in their battle to keep in-form Test winger Digby Ioane, who has received a $1 million per season Japanese offer.
