Matt O’Connor: Van Graan won’t have to ‘reinvent wheel’

Leicester Tigers head coach Matt O’Connor has told Johann van Graan he “doesn’t have to reinvent the wheel” now he has been given the reins at Munster.

Van Graan was made head coach of Munster last month after fellow South African Rassie Erasmus left to become director of rugby for the Springboks.

The role is a new one for van Graan, who has previously only worked as a member of a team’s backroom staff as opposed to being the head coach.
