Munster are almost certain to confirm Stephen Larkham as their new attack coach according to several Irish outlets.
The former Wallaby would be able to begin serving the reds straight away after being sacked from his position as Australia’s attack coach earlier in the year.
Larkham took up a role with the national performance coach adviser but would be available for work straight away.
He would become Munster’s second key coach signing in the past couple of weeks after the arrival of Graham Rowntree, who will take up the post of forwards coach with the province.
The former England and British & Irish Lions forwards coach is currently under contract with Georgia and will join up with Munster after the conclusion of the Rugby World Cup.
Rowntree and Larkham are being brought in to replace Jerry Flannery and Felix Jones respectively, who both parted ways with the club unexpectedly and left head coach Johann van Graan needing new blood.
If Larkham does put pen to paper on a deal it would be a big step in the right direction for Munster and after the doom and gloom of losing two coaches the future will look pretty bright to fans.
