Munster attack coach Mike Prendergast will leave the province at the end of the current season and join up in a similar role at Bath with ex-Munster heads coach Johann van Graan. Now he's on the move again, linking up with van Graan who has frequently been linked with a return back to his native South Africa. In that eventuality, Prendergast would be seen by Bath's hieraqrchy as a viable option to replace van Graan as head coach. “My family and I have absolutely loved our time back home since we returned to Munster in 2022," Prendergast says. “On behalf of the coaching team, I want to wish Mike and his family every success for the future.”
