Munster boss wishes Aled Walters well in new Springboks role

Johann van Graan has backed Munster to adapt well to yet another change in the province’s management set-up following confirming that Aled Walters is set to leave his post as Head of Athletic Performance.

Welshman Walters will leave in March after six years at Munster, following the recent exodus of director of rugby Rassie Erasmus and defence coach Jaques Nienaber to take up a senior role with the South African Rugby Union.

Erasmus has lured Walters to the camp, leaving Munster and his successor, head coach van Graan with another vacancy to fill before the season’s out.
