As Munster prepare to tackle the Lions in Johannesburg this Saturday, there is one man in their touring group who will have plenty of inside knowledge about the home team. For the better part of a decade, before joining Munster in 2017, JP Ferreira served as an analyst and then full-time defence coach at the Lions.

Particularly after joining forces with former Gloucester boss Johan Ackermann, Ferreira oversaw a golden period in the club’s history as the Johannesburg-based side progressed to three successive Super Rugby finals between 2016 and 2018.
