Munster Rugby has confirmed the departure of forwards coach Andi Kyriacou, less than a month after head coach Graham Rowntree left the province by mutual consent.

With head of rugby operations Ian Costello acting as interim head coach, Munster are believed to be set to appoint a forwards coach consultant while the search for Kyriacou's permanent replacement gets underway in tandem with attempts to secure a new head coach.
