Johann van Graan intent on adding new dimension to Munster

As Racing 92 flanker Yannick Nyanga was praising new pack-mate Donnacha Ryan on Sunday night he reflected on the inside knowledge the Irish lock had passed on to the squad abut Munster’s threats.

Racing had defeated Ryan’s old province 34-30 and Nyanga said the former Munsterman had known “exactly the way they think”.

“You know that Munster have the same game-plan for a long time, but the execution is perfect,” he added, yet there has for some time been evidence that that is no longer the case.
