Munster Rugby have signed full-back Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino and flanker Sean Doyle on short-term contracts.
Argentina international Amorosino and Australian-born Doyle have joined the province on three-month deals.
Amorosino, who is currently involved in the Pumas' World Cup campaign, will start at No 15 in Friday night's bronze-medal match against South Africa.
He has just completed a season with Cardiff Blues where he made 12 appearances. Prior to that he played for Top 14 sides Oyannax and Montpellier, and Leicester Tigers in the Premiership.
The 29-year-old, who has scored six tries in 47 appearances for his country, is also comfortable playing on the wing.
Back row signing Doyle arrived on Tuesday and trained with the squad in Cork on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old joins from Super Rugby outfit the Brumbies and previously played for Ulster Rugby where he made 24 appearances for the province.
The signings come just a day after Munster announced full-back Felix Jones had retired from the sport due to a neck injury.
