Mossy Lawler is confident the two-year contract extensions signed by Mike Prendergast, Denis Leamy and himself mean Munster’s selection of their next boss will have to be on the same page as the assistant coaching triumvirate.

It is clear, the candidacy of current attack coach Prendergast is the preferred route for a smooth transition of power following the departure by mutual consent of Graham Rowntree seven weeks ago with Lawler describing his close associate and former team-mate as “world-class” as the skills and assistant attack coach followed him and defence lead Leamy in putting pen to paper on a new deal, announced on Tuesday.
