WATCH: Johann van Graan on Champions Cup and exciting opportunities for players to shine

Munster head coach Johann van Graan is looking forward to shuffling his pack this weekend as his side return to Pro14 action against the Dragons at Rodney Parade.

Van Graan will be without 11 players from the team that beat Exeter Chiefs last week and is looking forward to giving some fringe players at opportunity with all the Irish international players unavailable.

“I don’t think the dynamic changes. Everyone is excited to get a shot with 11 players gone. We are into Wales in three of the next four encounters.

“It’s an opportunity for guys that wouldn’t get a lot of opportunities over the Christmas and the European block. A lot of excitement about what’s to come.”
