AUSTRALIAN FORWARD JED Holloway is in line to make his Munster debut on the province’s trip to South Africa after he was included in Johann van Graan’s 28-man travelling squad.
Following Saturday’s victory over Dragons in their Guinness Pro14 opener, Munster today depart for South Africa ahead of their round two clash against the Southern Kings in Port Elizabeth.
Holloway, who joined the province on a short-term deal as cover during the World Cup, arrived in Limerick last weekend and has now been issued with his work permit.
