Munster’s new chief executive has told the Irish Examiner the team’s disappointing run of form should not detract from the “extremely bright” future he believes is awaiting the province under head coach Johann van Graan. "We genuinely think we can be the biggest club in the world if we do the right things. “Effectively we’re trying to cram a 13-month season into 12 months a year in World Cup years so that is always a balancing act. “So look, I know we’ve lost a couple of games and every time Munster lose a game, people are disappointed. “We’re also disappointed by that but it doesn’t detract from the knowledge that we’re doing the right things, that we’re headed in the right direction and that the future is extremely bright,” said Flanagan.
