Beaten Heineken Cup semi-finalists Munster have added more firepower to their back division the signatures to two internationals - New Zealand's Sam Tuitupou and Ireland A player Johne Murphy.
Munster fell foul of Biarritz Olympique in the Heineken Cup semi-final two weeks ago after losing both wing in pre match training.
The absence of both Iain Dowling and Doug Howlett was noticeable as the double champions were forced to engage in a slugging match with the home pack - a battle they ended up losing 18-7.
Munster head coach Tony McGahan has acted quickly and secured cover in the back division.
Tuitupou, who won nine caps for New Zealand, will arrive at Thomond Park from relegated outfit Worcester, while Murphy making the switch from Leicester.
Tuitupou had been offered a new deal with the Warriors despite their relegation, however the former New Zealand U21 captain has decided to move to the former Heineken Cup champions.
The 28-year-old scored 13 tries during his three-year spell at Worcester, having joined the club from the Blues.
Murphy, 25, has spent the past five seasons at Leicester, earning a call up to the Ireland second team in 2008.
