The Kerry-born Limerickman has a busy schedule this week

Ian Costello is the man tasked with answering the questions surrounding the sudden departure of Graham Rowntree from Munster.

“And there’s obviously been a big reaction and a lot of stuff we’ve had to deal with since, we’ve worked our way through that and toward the weekend as well. It’s a massive change and a massive transition any time your Head Coach leaves, and it’s never going to be a good time.”“In a strange kind of way, this week, because when you’re dealing with something like this match we obviously had to deal with the match for these few days.

“I think our biggest strength as a club, in my opinion, is our integration, our alignment top to bottom at the moment. “And we’ve talked about that internally, because we’ve talked about everything. If I’m honest, that would be the approach, name it, talk about it and don’t be afraid to talk about it.

There was some clarity about the new Head Coach though; Munster are not looking for a Director of Rugby. “I think that model, the way we are set up at the moment, is definitely ideal for Munster. I am not saying it’s ideal for every club. It’s Munster’s solution for our context.
