The team rose from the ashes of Ireland's men's sevens team, which was discontinued by the IRFU last year for financial reasons.

They're currently occupied by Jean Klein, Thakir Abrahams and Alex Nankovell.

Only Nankovell is remaining with the province beyond this season.

Olympians Harry McNulty and Brian Mullen are among the former Ireland Sevens stars now lining out for the amateur side, and McNulty expressed his excitement at being part of what he hopes will be a Sevens renaissance in Ireland.

Abrahams and Klein are both heading to the Bulls and Gloucester respectively this summer.

Now, it's already been confirmed that South Africa hooker Marnus van der Merwe is heading to the province this summer from Scarlets, and it was hoped that Lomax would be signed up to come to Ireland after the 2027 World Cup, but he's now signed a contract extension with New Zealand rugby, the Hurricanes, and NPC outfit Tasman through to 2029, so that keeps him in his home country until that year's British and Irish Lions tour.

Munster have already added to their scrummaging stocks for next season, with Jack Ainter arriving from Connacht this summer.

Sean Edwards looks set to leave his role as France defence coach with immediate effect Les Bleus most recently retained the Six Nations title their third since Edwards was drafted into Fabien Gaultier's backroom team in 2020 but they conceded 50 points in a round 4 defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield and the 46 points they conceded at home to England in the finale in Paris nearly cost them the title with Thomas Ramos' last gas penalty just about getting them over the line

Le Keep reported last week that Gaultier is set to bring in Gérald Bastide from the French women's team.

He served as defence coach under Guy Noves between 2015 and 2017.

Rugby league great Edwards was previously part of the Wales coaching team.

He helped them to four Six Nations titles, including three Grand Slams, as well as a World Cup semi-final in 2011.

So he'll undoubtedly be in high demand from both club and international sides.

The Wallabies could be without a key back three player at their home World Cup next year.

Andrew Kelleway played his final game for the Waratahs last weekend as they lost 31-25 to Australian rivals Western Force.

He made eight appearances for the team this Super Rugby season before being dropped early in that campaign, but he's headed back to his home city of Sydney for family reasons and has hinted he could retire from professional rugby.

He will join up with Scott Robertson's Barbarians side, however, for games against South Africa and Wales this summer.

And finally for you today, Scotland's Darcy Graham has received a call-up to the Great Britain Sevens team ahead of this weekend's World Championship in Bordeaux.

Exeter Chiefs have confirmed that former Ireland captain Idel McMahon is one of seven players leaving the club this summer.

The country's record try-scorer hasn't played in the code since lining out for Scotland back in 2018.
