New Munster coach Stephen Larkham: ‘I’m coming here to make a change’

Stephen Larkham has come to Munster with a mission to make a difference as the province looks to make the leap from being merely good to becoming a championship side.

The Australian World Cup-winning fly-half and former Wallabies assistant coach was recruited by Johann van Graan as Munster’s senior coach alongside incoming forwards coach Graham Rowntree for precisely those reasons and, judging by his first interactions with the media at the High Performance Centre in Limerick yesterday, the 45-year-old is not going to shirk the challenge.
