Rugby: Munster fires head coach after disappointing start to URC season

# Rugby: Irish club Munster has announced the immediate departure of head coach Graham Rowntree. The former forward of England and Leicester Tigers led the team to the United Rugby Championship title in his first season in 2022/’23, but they are struggling this season. Munster is currently in 12th place on the log after winning only two of their first six games. The head of rugby operations, Ian Costello, will take over Rowntree’s duties while the club searches for a new permanent coach.
