Munster head coach Johann van Graan may or may not snag a ticket for Sunday’s All-Ireland SHC final but he is keen to tap into the secrets of Limerick’s success as he searches for the small margins he hopes will deliver rugby silverware this season.

Johann van Graan has been delighted at the way Ireland have pieced victory after victory together over the past six weeks and can now complete the Six Nations Grand Slam by beating England at Twickenham on Saturday.

Leicester Tigers head coach Matt O’Connor has told Johann van Graan he “doesn’t have to reinvent the wheel” now he has been given the reins at Munster.

Munster are confident inexperienced new head coach Johann van Graan will not need the oversight of a director of rugby when he takes the reins from Rassie Erasmus.
