JP Ferreira: Munster have plenty of work to do

They say a year is a long time in rugby and never more so for defence coaches in an ever-evolving attacking landscape. Yet, for the man with the keys to Munster’s stronghold, the last 12 months have been nothing but a whirlwind.

JP Ferreira will celebrate his first year as Munster defence coach this evening at Thomond Park against the same opponents which made his debut game on the sidelines such a baptism of fire.
