Costello Takes Over From Foley

Munster announced today that Ian Costello will take over the role of Munster A coach in place of Anthony Foley who will be senior squad Forwards coach from the start of next season.

In addition Costello (UL Bohemians) will be Skills Coach with responsibility for the Senior and Munster A squads.

In team news Munster report a full bill of health, other than bumps 'n bruises after weekend games involving the senior side and Munster Development who were beaten 21-17 by Ireland U20s in Musgrave Park on Sunday.

Denis Leamy received the all clear after having a scan on a neck injury that forced him to retire in the 73rd minute against Ospreys while Declan Cusack and Ian Nagle are all expected to train later in the week having been forced out of that development game through injury.
