Chris Farrell's new club confirmed as Munster Rugby prepare for vital Glasgow clash

Chris Farrell is joining French club Oyonnax

THE Munster Rugby squad has started preparations for our URC round 16 clash against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday, March 25, at Thomond Park, 5.15pm.

In player news, it was confirmed in recent days that French club Oyonnax have signed centre Chris Farrell after the Ireland international departed the province earlier this month.

Munster Rugby and the IRFU confirmed earlier this month that Farrell had been released from the province to pursue a new playing opportunity.

The 29-year-old has made 71 Munster appearances, scoring 9 tries, since making his debut against Benetton in September 2017 and has represented Ireland on 15 occasions.

It has also been confirmed that another Munster centre Malakai Fekitoa will join Benetton at the end of the season.

Meanwhile, fourth-placed Glasgow are two points and one place ahead of Munster in the URC table ahead of their crunch URC clash in Limerick on Saturday week.

Following that game, Munster's final two regular season fixtures in the URC will be away in South Africa.
