Munster have re-signed the promising quartet of Sammy Arnold, Darren O’Shea, Conor Oliver and Dan Goggin to two-year contracts that will see them remain with the province until June 2020.

Arnold, who joined the province at the start of the 2016-17 season, endured a number of injury set-backs in his first year but impressed mightily in the Munster midfield this season with the absence of Jaco Taute and Chris Farrell through injury. Former academy player O’Shea returned to the province at the start of the 2016-17 season after completing two seasons with Worcester Warriors and has performed admirably while deputising for Jean Kleyn and Billy Holland. Oliver will advance from a development to a full contract at the start of the 2018-19 season after a 2017 campaign in which he was named Munster' Academy Player of the Year. https://www.instagram.com/p/BevQ7Vhn0dj/ The Dubliner missed the first three months of the season after injuring his shoulder during the pre-season before returning to the Munster pack in late December with a man of the match performance against Connacht. Goggin will also advance to a full contract at the end of this season.
