Munster have announced two-year contract extensions for Gavin Coombes and Shane Daly.
Coombes, who turns 27 this week, has made two appearances for Ireland and scored an impressive 47 tries in 106 Munster appearances since making his debut against Cheetahs in 2018.
He is fourth on the list of all-time try-scorers for Munster behind Simon Zebo (73), Keith Earls (64) and Andrew Conway (50).
Coombes was a try scorer against Stade Francais on Saturday and has scored five tries in seven appearances so far this season.

Shane Daly also scored an impressive try from 60 metres against Stade Francais on Saturday to mark his 100th Munster appearance with his 25th try for the province.
The 27-year-old versatile back, who can play on the wing, at fullback and in midfield, earned two Ireland caps in 2020 and 2021.
Why can't Irish rugby produce players with genuine pace?
Daly won the URC Ironman for the most minutes played in the 2023/24 season.
He missed just 10 minutes of Munster’s 20 URC games. The only two games he missed during the campaign were in the Champions Cup due to knocks.
So far this season, Daly has scored three tries in five appearances despite missing a number of games due to injury.
Alex Nankivell has also recently signed a new two-year contract with Stephen Archer signing an extension until the end of the season.
