Johann van Graan refuses to accept Munster cannot compete with Leinster and refutes the criticism he got his tactical approach wrong in last season’s PR014 semi-final defeat to their arch-rivals. We went to Dublin to win that semi-final,” van Graan told the Irish Examiner. “From a tactical point of view, once Leinster get a two-score lead nobody in the world is catching them. “But we are not Leinster, we are Munster and we’ve got to look after our own players. When I came to Munster I said that we shouldn’t get players into the academy that only want to play for Munster, we want players that can play Test rugby.
