Johann van Graan paid tribute to Munster veteran Billy Holland following the lock’s announcement he will retire at the end of the season but insisted there was plenty of rugby left in the campaign before the time for goodbyes arrived.

Holland, 35, will call time on a 14-year Munster senior career when the 2020-21 season comes to an end having last Friday moved past Ronan O’Gara to become the province’s second most-capped player on 241 appearances behind fellow second-row Donncha O’Callaghan (263).
