Munster attack coach Mike Prendergast on Thaakir Abrahams’s skillset and Simon Zebo’s retirement.
MUNSTER ARE SET to announce the signing of former South African U20 Thaakir Abrahams in the coming days after completing a deal with Lyon to secure an early release from his contract.
“We’d have known him from URC as well, playing with the Sharks then went on to Lyon in the Top 14 last year,” said Prendergast. “Simon, what a guy. I was fortunate to work with him in France with Racing and then to come home here. A brilliant rugby player, a brilliant character and he sees things on the pitch. He’s the highest try scorer in the club, something that speaks for itself and he’s someone we will miss around the place, absolutely.
His main focus at the moment is on their final URC game before the play-offs when they entertain Ulster at Thomond Park on Saturday, knowing that a win will secure top spot in the table after winning all eight league games since their New Year’s Day loss to Connacht. “He did a bit of running over the last day or two but we’re going to give him an extra day or so see how he gets on. Going into Thursday we’ll see how he is. As of now, we’re unsure.
