Van Graan: ‘I’m very privileged and very happy to stay here’

Johann van Graan is hopeful his decision to stay on as Munster boss beyond his current contract can give the province the sort of stability that has propelled the likes of Saracens and the All Blacks to long-term and sustained success.

There was more to the two-year contract extension announced by Munster Rugby yesterday for head coach van Graan than a vote of confidence in the South African’s abilities to lead the province until June 2022.
