# Rugby: Springbok hooker Marnus van der Merwe will make his debut for Irish team Munster in a pre-season match against Leicester Tigers in Cork. He joined from Welsh outfit Scarlets during the off-season, but a calf injury kept him out. Van der Merwe played for the Cheetahs before moving overseas. He played three Tests for South Africa since making his debut last year. It’s been said although Van der Merwe is off the Boks’ radar currently, coach Rassie Erasmus is keeping an eye on his progress in Ireland.
