Van Graan: 'Belief is not a problem, I want to make that clear'

Munter head coach Johann van Graan: "Belief is not a problem, I want to make that clear. But in terms of what we can do better, it’s about adapting far quicker to the referee, conditions and the opposition’s physicality early on to ensure we don’t fall behind like we did against the Bulls."

Soon after Munster slipped to a narrow loss against the Bulls in Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash, coach Johann van Graan fronted up to the media with disappointment and frustration etched across his face.

Although an inexperienced Munster side had shown real guts and resolve to fight back from a 26-3 half-time deficit, a courageous second-half performance was ultimately not enough to prevent a five-point loss.
