Munster boss Graham Rowntree appears set to swell his back-three options with the signing of wing/full-back Thaakir Abrahams from Top 14 outfit Lyon. 

With the looming retirement of Simon Zebo, added to the previous departures of Keith Earls and Andrew Conway from the game, Munster's options in the back-field were due to take a hit ahead of the 2024/25 United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup campaigns, but it is expected the arrival of Abrahams will be announced as early as this week.
