MUNSTER HAVE SIGNED fullback Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino and flanker Sean Doyle on short-term deals, it has been confirmed.
Amorosino, who has featured for Argentina at the Rugby World Cup and is set to play in Friday’s bronze medal match against South Africa, and Australian Sean Doyle, have both joined on three-month deals.
The 29-year-old fullback made 12 appearances for Cardiff Blues last season, having previously played in the Top 14 with Oyannax and Montpellier, as well as Leicester Tigers in the Premiership. He has scored six tries in 47 appearances in total for his country.
Meanwhile, 26-year-old Doyle has linked up with the squad after leaving Super Rugby side the Brumbies. He also previously played for Ulster, making 24 appearances during his time there.

Massive blow to wallabies! i can see the lions winning this series 3-0
Not really. A year or two ago this would be a massive blow but he has missed alot of this season and whenever he has played he has looked a shadow of his former self. The Rebels have actually played much better without him!
Jessie Mogg at the Brumbies and Israel Folau of the Waratahs have really stood up and are right in contention for the fullback spot. With them in such red hot form (Izzy especially) i doubt even a fit and available Beale would make the squad let alone the starting 15.
