Johann van Graan has said Munster will go through the “right channels” if the province feels the Stormers have a case to answer following an alleged biting incident that left Niall Scannell needing a medical examination.

The Munster head coach confirmed that starting hooker and try scorer Scannell had reported an incident on the pitch to his captain Peter O’Mahony during the third quarter of the side’s 34-18 United Rugby Championship win over the Stormers in Limerick on Saturday night.
