Oli Jager loves the life of a front rower and he has found plenty of fellow devotees since swapping life with the Crusaders for a return to Ireland and a new home with Munster.

The tighthead prop, who joined the URC champions in December after seven Super Rugby-winning seasons in New Zealand, has by his own description experienced something of a whirlwind in his first six months back on Irish soil.
