Night had fallen yet shadows were lifting. From the moment he arrived into this Munster job way back at the tail end of 2017, van Graan has been repeatedly reminded of two things.

Leo Cullen is a year younger than O’Gara but already has an impressive list of honours to his name as a head coach – a Champions Cup title, four Pro14 trophies, and a Pro14 coach of the season award.

O Gara will return when time is right

RTÉ Sport Journalist Ronan O Gara will return to Irish shores when it suits him to do so and not a moment before, according to Donal Lenihan. The former Ireland international retired from playing in 2013 and moved straight into coaching, taking up a position with Racing 92 until 2017. He subsequently spent two years at Crusaders in New Zealand and now finds himself in the head coach role at La Rochelle. There has been a widespread expectation that the ex-Munster out-half would one day return home to coach the side he won two Heineken Cups with as a player, before, further down the line, being involved in the national set-up.
