WATCH: Paul O'Connell reflects on Johann van Graan's tenure to date at Munster Rugby

IRELAND forward coach Paul O'Connell says Johann van Graan has been 'brilliant for Munster' during his time coaching at the province.

O'Connell believes the fact Van Graan had informed Munster of his decision to depart at the end of this season in December gives the province plenty of time to complete the process of finding his successor.
