Munster defence-coach JP Ferreira has extended his stay with the province until the end of the 2022 season by signing a new contract.
The South African has helped Johann van Graan's side hold the best defensive record in the PRO14 for the last two-years and have also conceded the fewest points in the Champions Cup Pool stages in the period.
The Reds' new forwards coach Graham Rowntree has also begun work in Limerick this week and van Graan thinks Stephen Larkham's influence is already evident in the way they've been attacking:
"I thought we did some very good things in attack, some very nice off-loads. I think what will be key for us going forward into the winter months is the balance.
"I thought we forced one or two offloads at one stage, but we are not looking at it from an error point of view. We said listen, where do we want to end up and work back from there.
"Some of the stuff was really, really good, I thought some of the passing of the forwards, the interplay was really nice.
"It is something we have worked on since the start of the pre-season, so you have to develop your game, like I said keep your DNA in place, buy you know, it is nice to see we are moving forward."
Munster say they've no fresh injury concerns from last weekend's bonus-point win over Ospreys while Chris Cloete has recovered from an ankle issue and returned to full training.
