Munster have confirmed the signing of South African forwards Chris Cloete and Gerbrandt Grobler.
Cloete, an openside flanker, joins Munster from Super Rugby's Southern Kings, a side he could face in an expanded Pro12 this season. The 26-year made 21 appearances for the Southern Kings, being particularly impressive this season.
Cloete will join Munster on a three-year deal once his Currie Cup commitments are finished.
Grobler is a name and face Munster fans may recognise from last season's Champions Cup. As Donnacha Ryan heads to Racing 92, Grobler will join from the Top 14 side. The 25-year-old second row lined out for Racing in their 32-7 loss to Munster in January.
Grobler, who has signed a one-year deal, will join up with the Munster camp for preseason.
The two latest announcements add to the previously confirmed acquisitions of Chris Farrell, James Hart and JJ Hanrahan.
