Munster are believed to be in advanced talks to sign former English international tighthead Kieran Brookes.

Brookes played for Perpignan in their 47-24 Top 14 play-off match on Sunday against Provence Rugby but is now set to join Clayton McMillan’s side next season despite a contract extension last year which seemed set to keep him with the Catalan club until 2027.
