Isa Nacewa's legacy among 'imports' is unmatched in Irish rugby. Some have just about been his equal at times in terms of quality, others have come close to corresponding with his extended length of service across two stints with Leinster. None planted both those pillars quite as deep in the soil.

The Kiwi would be too humble to say it but he knows what it takes to land somewhere new and make yourself so cherished, so indispensable. And, in the like of RG Snyman and Damian de Allende, he clearly sees a pair of World Cup winners who have the potential to take root and prosper in Munster.
