Earlier this week, Johann van Graan bumped into veteran South African fly-half Morne Steyn outside Munster’s team hotel in Pretoria, where the head coach is preparing his team for this Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash against the Bulls.

It was a chance encounter at a coffee shop that brought back past memories for Van Graan, who coached Steyn during his early years at the Bulls.
