Stephen Larkham believes Munster’s new signing Jason Jenkins will bring much-needed Super Rugby and Springbok experience to the squad when the forward joins the province this summer.

Munster confirmed the arrival of the 25-year-old, 6ft 7ins, 19st forward on Tuesday as a replacement for the soon to retire CJ Stander with senior coach Larkham adding the South African, who will be joining from Japanese club Toyota Verblitz, can play anywhere in the back five of the pack.
