Performance consultant: Chris Boyd

CHRIS Boyd will be an invaluable asset in helping to steer Munster’s coaching staff through the next couple of months as the search for a permanent head coach continues, interim boss Ian Costello has said.

Boyd had been announced earlier Tuesday as the province’s Performance Consultant, tasked with providing support to Costello and assistant coaches as they continue to negotiate through the season following the departure of head coach Graham Rowntree on October 29.
