Six games into a new season and there are problems aplenty to occupy Munster’s head of Rugby operations as he takes temporary charge for the indefinite future.

Graham Rowntree’s surprise departure comes ahead of an All Blacks XV visit to a sold-out Thomond Park this Saturday but Costello has a further month to prepare for the return of the URC campaign and a home clash with the Lions on November 30.
