Munster Rugby prop Stephen Archer
MUNSTER Rugby and the IRFU have confirmed that experienced prop Stephen Archer has signed a contract extension with the province.
Archer, who is the province’s record appearance-holder, has signed a contract extension to keep him at Munster until the end of the season.
Archer made his 290th appearance for Munster against the Emirates Lions on Saturday, helping the team to a vital URC win.
This is Archer’s 16th campaign at Munster having made his debut in 2009 and he continues to make a valuable contribution on and off the field.
The 36-year-old made 21 appearances last season and has featured in six games so far this year.
One of his many highlights in red was helping Munster to the URC trophy in 2022/23 with a string of outstanding performances.
Archer started that year’s URC quarter-final, semi-final and final as Munster clinched the title, also playing back-to-back 80 minutes away to Stormers and Sharks in the final rounds of the regular season.
Capped twice by Ireland, the Cork Constitution clubman is the second-most capped provincial player of all time.
