Peter O’Mahony has admitted not knowing the identity of Munster’s head coach for next season is not ideal but has backed his team to stay focused on the business of winning matches in the final phase of this campaign.

It is 16 weeks since Johann van Graan confirmed he would not be seeking a new contract when his current contract expires this summer after five years at the helm in Munster, and assistant coaches Stephen Larkham and JP Ferreira have also announced their decisions to leave. Defence coach Ferreira will follow fellow South African van Graan to Bath in the English Premiership while senior coach Larkham is returning home to Australia to take over as head coach of his hometown Brumbies in Canberra.
