“The coaching staff; we learned so much from each other during this past nine weeks. I learnt about the players. We might look at readjusting our plan by inches. I said from day one that it’s not about change; it’s about enhancing the Munster way.
Van Grann pointed out the intricate details that he may make look to adjust before the busy period. He believes it’s the minor adjustments that will make the difference to enhance his squad’s chances.
“So, those small little inches. Working on some of the guys cleaning, maybe some of the off-loading, defensively, breakdown and all parts of the game. Getting the guys in to better shape. After the next block there will be another break. I believe we’ve got the Scarlets then, massive game.”
