Munster have appointed Alex Codling as forwards coach consultant on an interim basis.
His appointment comes after Andi Kyriacou announced his decision to leave his role as Munster’s forwards coach with the province now seeking his replacement.
Announcing the news last week, Munster Rugby said Kyriacou made the decision to leave his role in order to rejoin his family in England.
Codling is currently forwards coach with the Ireland women’s team and will continue in both roles ahead of the 2025 Women’s Six Nations which begins in March.
