VODACOM BULLS HAVE confirmed the signing of Thaakir Abrahams from URC rivals Munster, while fellow wing Diarmuid Kilgallen has extended his contract with the southern province until at least 2028.

Abrahams joined Munster ahead of the 2024-25 season following one campaign in the Top 14 with Lyon.
The 27-year-old began his career in South Africa with the Sharks.
Abrahams is one of several signings announced today by the Bulls.
“We have been very deliberate in our recruitment process, identifying specific areas where we felt we needed to bolster our depth and experience,” Blue Bulls Company CEO Edgar Rathbone said. “Bringing in players of this calibre, ranging from proven match-winners to the most exciting young talent in the country, is a clear statement of our intent. We are building a squad capable of sustained success in both the Vodacom URC and Europe, and we are thrilled to welcome these men to the Loftus family.”
Kildare native Kilgallen, 25, has endured an injury-plagued spell at Munster since moving south from Connacht at the start of last season.
He has featured on six occasions this season — five of them starts — and scored two tries.
