Fantastic news if you're a Munster fan! Anthony Foley's side are closing in on the signature of a fresh face at centre.

We understand that an announcement could be made tomorrow that Auckland Blues centre Francis Saili, who has two All Blacks caps to his name, is on his way to the province. The 23-year-old made his senior international debut against Argentina in 2013 but struggled with fitness last year. Some fresh blood might be just what the doctor ordered for Munster who failed to progress in this season's Champions Cup but, if Saili produces anything like the performances he's put forward for the Blues, fans of the Red Army could be back smiling before long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0mYu7XgLZQ
