Munster Rugby will take 'a number of years' to rediscover past glory, says Ireland great Keith Wood

Keith Wood has called for root and branch reform at Munster and has warned it will take his former province “a number of years” to return to their former glories.

The province is in crisis after Saturday’s defeat at Stade Francais condemned them to an early exit from the European Champions Cup with two rounds of the pool stages still to play.

Head coach Anthony Foley has admitted he will consider his position if he does not think he can improve results but Wood believes Munster’s problems run far deeper than his former team-mate.
