IRFU chief executive Kevin Potts has suggested Munster’s search for a new head coach to replace Graham Rowntree will continue until at least into January.

Rowntree left Munster by mutual consent at the end of October, just six games into his third season at the helm, with the province unwilling to shed any light on the reason’s for the URC title-winning boss and URC coach of the year’s sudden exit.
