Antoine Frisch has been a massive hit in Munster but talk of his future has been cause for concern for fans in recent weeks.
The talented centre joined Munster from Bristol Bears ahead of last season and proved an electric addition to their midfield, playing a key role in the URC Championship win.
Irish-qualified through his grandmother, Frisch had been touted for selection under Andy Farrell but it never came and France - the country of his birth - took initiative.

He was called up for duty ahead of France's Six Nations clash with England, although he did not tog out for Fabien Galthie's side.
If Frisch was to be capped it would have instantly made him a NIQ (Non-Irish Qualified) player and his days at Munster would have been numbered.
The fact he did not feature led to more questions than answers, with Munster coach Mike Prendergast downplaying a potential exit.
However, Frisch - who impressed on the Emerging Ireland tour of South Africa in 2022 - has expressed his desire to represent Les Bleus and could now get his wish with reports claiming he has signed with a new club.

An agreement was reportedly reached a few days ago and it is claimed that Munster will receive compensation due to the fact Frisch had been contracted until 2025.
Speaking to L'Equipe in April he outlined his desire to play for his home nation.
I have been in contact with Fabien Galthie for a long time and this contact has never been interrupted.
From the moment I was called into the France group, it became very clear to me. I want to play for France.
It's where I grew up, I had a Les Bleus poster on the walls of my room as a child.
Munster got the better of Toulon when the sides met at Stade Mayol in the Champions Cup earlier this season.
The former Champions Cup winners are currently sat sixth in the Top 14 table.
