Connacht Rugby's signing of Melbourne Rebels back-row forward Colby Fainga’a last week was their third from Australian Super Rugby sides in the European off-season. Here we profile them all and the Irish province's other principal signings. Colby Fainga'a The 27-year-old is reunited with Connacht head coach Andy Friend, who gave Fainga'a his Super Rugby debut for the Brumbies when Friend was their head coach in 2010. The former Australian U20 captain went on to play every game for the club in 2011 before joining the Rebels in 2014. He now has over 100 Super Rugby appearances to his name. Kyle Godwin Godwin, whose signing was initially announced in March, is another Super Rugby regular to join Connacht, having made his bow for Western Force in 2012 and played 52 games for them before switching to Brumbies in 2017. The Zimbabwe-born 25-year-old, who won his one Australia cap in 2016, can play either centre or fly-half. https://twitter.com/connachtrugby/status/1018106314113904640 David Horwitz Like Godwin, his signing was also confirmed in March and, also like Godwin, he has Super Rugby experience at centre and fly-half. The 23-year-old spent three years at the Waratahs prior to moving to the Rebels this year, starting all but one of the Waratahs' games during their 2017 campaign. Robin Copeland Copeland has made 23 appearances in the European Cup for Cardiff Blues and Munster Rugby in the last six seasons, including three in 2017/18 for Munster. The 30-year-old, who has been capped once by Ireland, is a highly versatile forward. He normally features at No.8 but has played in the second row and as a flanker. https://twitter.com/connachtrugby/status/1016695052716924929 Joe Maksymiw The 22-year-old lock made his European Cup debut last season for Leicester Tigers in their Pool 4 game against Castres Olympique, one of 12 appearances for the English club. Maksymiw, a product of the Leicester Tigers Academy, was part of England U18s' tour to South Africa in 2014 but is also Irish-qualified. Sevu Reece The 21-year-old has played much of his rugby on the wing but also has experience of playing right across the backs. Reece was born and raised in Fiji but moved to New Zealand in 2014 and joins Connacht after completing the current season with Waikato in the Mitre 10 Cup.
