Incoming Munster head coach Clayton McMillan has said he wants to bring ambition and courage “to play more ball” to the province when he arrives in Ireland this summer for a role that "literally landed on my doorstep".

The Chiefs boss, who is also the Maori All Blacks and All Blacks XV head coach was announced as Graham Rowntree’s permanent replacement on a three-year deal on Wednesday night and the New Zealander will start work at Munster in pre-season at the conclusion of the Super Rugby campaign, with his Hamilton-based team making the early frontrunning after two wins from two.
