Rassie Erasmus: Johann Van Graan will ‘get into Munster players' hearts’

Rassie Erasmus jetted home to South Africa last night confident that Munster are in safe hands with his replacement, Johann van Graan.

Erasmus had a farewell barbecue in Limerick over the weekend with Jacques Nienaber, his defence coach, ahead of his departure after the “best 18 months of my life”.

Van Graan, who was part of the Springbok setup hammered by Ireland in Dublin on Saturday, will take charge this time next week, and Erasmus says he will be a better head coach than he was.
