Johann van Graan looks ahead to Connacht clash as Taute confirms Leicester move

Munster boss Johann van Graan insists he is committed to improving his existing squad as the province bids to win silverware for the first time in eight years but that will be without South Africa centre Jaco Taute, who was unveiled today by Leicester Tigers as a new signing for next season.

As Munster pick over the rubble of a third successive Heineken Champions Cup semi-final defeat having been humbled by Saracens in Coventry on Saturday, Taute, 27, joined Leinster back Noel Reid as a new signing at Welford Road after finding game time limited under head coach van Graan.
