Johann van Graan purring over Murray and Stander

All going as predicted, Johann van Graan may be dealing with dual loyalties if Ireland and South Africa clash in the quarter-final of the Rugby World Cup in Yokohama on Sunday, October 20.

Van Graan has 12 Munster players with the Irish squad in Japan, poised to qualify for the knockout phase as winners of Pool A. Of course, that clash is still the guts of a month away but van Graan couldn't help but purr at the performance of the Irish no.9 Conor Murray and his provincial colleague CJ Stander in the RWC opener against Scotland last Sunday.
