Munster have handed Brian Gleeson a big start tonight against Castres.
JUST TWO GAMES into his time with Munster , the province’s fans would be forgiven for hoping they might be able to keep Dian Bleuler for the long term.
His signing went somewhat under the radar but Bleuler has decent pedigree. He was a starter for the South Africa U20s in 2019, playing alongside Munster team-mate Thaakir Abrahams, who starts on the left wing tonight. Advertisement “He has been a breath of fresh air, he’s so keen,” said Munster attack coach Mike Prendergast.
Humphreys’ ban on permanent NIQ prop signings makes that unlikely but it might be worth Munster scoping out.“I genuinely don’t know the answer, that would obviously have to go through the IRFU. But he’d be a nice one to keep, he has been a huge addition.” It’s a huge opportunity for 20-year-old number eight Gleeson, who will make his first start in the Champions Cup. This is also his first appearance of the season and having impressed for Garryowen in the AIL upon his return from injury recently, the powerful Tipperary man will look to kick on.
