The appointment of Graham Rowntree as the coach of the Munster Rugby team this week will bring hope that a new leader will usher in a new era of success.

Rowntree’s appointment — effective from June 30 — was not a shock, particularly among those many fans to whom he has demonstrated the sort of loyalty to and engagement with the legendary Munster ethos since he arrived here in 2019.
