Munster tie down Daly and Coombes with contract extensions

Daly and Coombes both are Munster centurions now after the weekend.

SHANE DALY HAS signed a two-year contract extension with Munster, keeping him at the province until 2027.

Daly hit 100th caps with Munster over the weekend – marking the occasion with a brilliant solo try in the Champions Cup defeat of Stade Francais.

The 27-year-old joined the Munster Academy in 2016 after coming through at Highfield and PBC. He represented the Ireland U20s and Ireland Sevens before making his Munster debut in 2018.

Daly played the most minutes for Munster across the 2022/23 season, while he also lined out for Emerging Ireland and Ireland A in 2022. He racked up 1,800 minutes in 24 appearances (23 starts) as Munster won the URC title that season.

Daly continued to be a regular presence in the Munster backline last season, winning the URC Ironman for the most minutes played – missing just 10 minutes of Munster’s 20 league games.

Daly has scored three tries in five appearances despite missing a number of games due to injury this season.

Gavin Coombes has also signed another two-year deal.

The number 8 from Skibbereen has scored 47 tries in just 106 appearances and is an integral part of their team.
