Grant’s back-to-basics plan for Young Munster

YOUNG MUNSTER coach Tony Grant plans a two or three-year back- to-basics programme to lead the club back to the summit of Irish rugby — and help Munster and Ireland in the process.

Grant’s back-to-basics plan for Young Munster

Grant was at the helm at Clifford Park for more years than he cares to remember, including the 1993 season when the club sensationally won the AIB League with victory over St Mary's College at Lansdowne Road.

Now, after a six-year break, he is back more determined than ever to bring the club up from the second division. He makes no bones about his back-to-basics philosophy and has enlisted the help of two other former club stars, Pat Cross and Francis Brosnihan, to strengthen the club's future. "The club scene has fallen into disrepair throughout the country only some have suffered more than others. Not enough time and energy was given to the game at this level, and it is the duty of all concerned to ensure that our club structure survives and prospers for the benefit of the clubs and the various provinces."
