A great big Munster thread

Dan Kelly to Munster confirmed.
Keep him fit and he should be a really nice signing. Rory Scannell is apparently on the hunt for a new club. Think he was rumoured to England last year
 
He doesn't have a deal at Leinster so imagine he is trying to get one from Munster.
Ah fair. I mean he's coming at a good time to try and snatch a contract as a centre. I can't really remember him from his time at 20s, but we are so barebones there that Jack O'Donoghue did 20 mins at 13 a few weeks ago.
 
The new Academy recruits are Emmet Calvey, Conor Kennelly, Oisín Minogue, Eoghan Smyth and Tom Wood.

As previously confirmed, Fionn Gibbons, Shay McCarthy, Evan O'Connell, Ruadhán Quinn and Kieran Ryan have been promoted to the senior squad for the 2025/26 season.

Ben O'Connor will spend one more year in the Academy before moving up to the senior squad ahead of the 2026/27 season.

After completing his third year in the Academy this season, prop Darragh McSweeney extends his time in the Academy after injury hampered his development.


Fairly conservative academy intake, I would imagine they will do a second intake at some stage, or a pretty big intake next year looking at the Irish Under 19s with Michael O'Sullivan, James O'Leary, Jamie Conway all being pretty likely to make an academy . Calvey definitely the most important from this batch for us to get into a pro environment ASAP. Tough to know how good many of these guys are after a tough 20s year under Doak
