Frisch: 'I’ve never won a trophy before so it was a dream come true'

Antoine Frisch played an integral part in what followed next as Munster found their feet, not only rescuing their season but compiling that memorable run of five wins away from home to close out the campaign with the URC Grand Final victory over the Stormers in Cape Town

After a title-winning debut season, Antoine Frisch believes the addition of skills coach Mossy Lawler and a continuing next-game focus is giving Munster an excellent shot at repeating their BKT URC success in 2023-24.

Munster, who face Dragons at Musgrave Park in Cork tomorrow afternoon, are off to an unbeaten start to their second campaign under Graham Rowntree and a coaching staff now augmented by former Reds winger Lawler, who signed on this summer as a skills coach after eight years at Connacht. The Thomond Park win over the Sharks in round one and last Sunday’s draw at Benetton paint a very different picture to the early disappointments of Frisch’s first days with the province having signed from Bristol Bears in the summer of 2022.
