Munster have complete the double-signing of fullback Lucas Gonzalez-Amorosino and backrow Sean Doyle on short-term contracts.

Gonzalez-Amorosino is currently with Argentina’s World Cup squad, and is set to start Friday night’s bronze medal match against South Africa.

The former Cardiff Blues back was Los Pumas’ sole unsused substitute during their 43-20 quarter-final demolition of Ireland at the Millennium Stadium.

He is joined at Thomond Park by former-Ulster backrow Sean Doyle.
