The ongoing tensions over interprovincial transfers resurfaced on the eve of Leinster and Munster’s PRO14 semi-final as Blues boss Leo Cullen revealed his frustration at Johann van Graan’s signing of prop Roman Salanoa.

The Hawaiian-born tighthead moved to Limerick in May but not before Leinster head coach Cullen said he had received assurances from the player that he was staying in Dublin.
