The following from News24:-
Munster and the Irish Rugby Football Union have announced the signing of South African back-row Arno Botha, who joins from London Irish.
The 26-year-old will link up with the province at the beginning of the 2018/19 season, subject to medical clearance and obtaining a work permit.
Botha, an explosive ball carrier who plays flanker and number eight, played his entire professional career with the Blue Bulls before moving to London Irish in January.
A former South Africa U20s captain, he featured for the Springboks on two occasions in 2013.
"In building our squad for next season I believe Arno will be a great addition to our side, adding further depth and strength to our back-row options," head coach Johann van Graan told Munster's website.
"From my time with the Bulls and South Africa I have first-hand experience of what Arno is capable of. A physical ball carrier and line-out jumper, he leads by example with his work-rate, commitment and physicality, and we look forward to welcoming him to the province."
The medical examination is where the problem lies - he has not have a full season of rugby since 2012 - all due to injuries, Munster will be taken a huge chabnce contracting him.
I obviously hope he pass the medical and is over his injury problems.
