Munster in rush to sign Samoan star

Munster are battling to sign Samoan hard man Brian Lima ahead of the Heineken Cup, the Evening Echo reported today.

The 33-year-old wing is top of the wanted list ahead of the Heineken Cup quarter-final against Biarritz next month.

Munster have until this afternoon to sign two additional players under tournament regulations.

Meanwhile all the indications are that Munster's Heineken Cup quarter-final with Biarritz at Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian will be sold-out.

Biarritz have already sold their entire allocation and the Munster Branch have sent out their allocation to clubs, supporters club, sponsors and corporate partners.

Tickets have been available on the official website (www.munsterrugby.ie) since last Friday and more will go on sale on Thursday and Friday next from 10am until 3pm from the Munster Branch offices at Thomond Park and Musgrave Park.
