Johann van Graan determined to slash Munster's penalty count in Leicester return

Munster’s success at the breakdown against Leicester was a significant factor in last Saturday’s 33-10 Champions Cup win over their pool rivals but their methods were described as “cynical” by Tigers head coach Matt O’Connor, making the collision area and ruck time an obvious focal point for this weekend’s match referee, Mathieu Raynal of France.
Van Graan’s Munster conceded 13 penalties to Leicester’s eight as they racked up a bonus-point victory at Thomond Park to move clear at the top of Pool 4 on 11 points, four ahead of Castres and five in front of both the Tigers and Racing 92.
