Munster recruit Aussie fitness guru

Munster have unearthed a new head of fitness - in Perpignan.

Australian Adam Trypas will join the province as a replacement for compatriot Bryce Kavanagh, who returned home in October to sign up with former Munster boss Tony McGahan’s Melbourne Rebels.

Trypas is currently Physical Performance Manager with Super League outfit Catalan Dragons in France, having previously worked with other league sides including the Newcastle Knights in Australia and Wakefield Trinity in England, as well as Japanese rugby union team Toyota.
