Munster recruit flanker Sean Doyle and full-back Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino

New Munster signing Sean Doyle is no stranger to Thomond Park after joining the province on a three-month contract as replacement for injured skipper Peter O’Mahony.

Doyle, with an Irish grandfather who played hurling for Clare, had a big role in helping Ulster beat Munster in the Pro12 (19-17) at the iconic stadium in April of last year.

Shortly afterwards, he returned to Australia to take up a contract with the ACT Brumbies after two years in Ireland, and former Ulster coach Mark Anscombe described his move back to Canberra as disappointing. “We have lost a beauty,” said the coach at that time.
