Munster have made Alex Codling's stay with the province permanent after the announcement that he will take up the role of forwards coach for the 2025/26 season.

Codling joined Munster back in November as forwards coach consultant, following the departures of Graham Rowntree and Andi Kyriacou, and worked with the province throughout the remainder of the 2024/25 season, juggling his commitments with the Ireland women’s squad.
