LAYTON McMillan has outlined why he is so excited about working with his new Munster coaching ticket after hiring Jimmy Duffy and Jared Payne ahead of next season. The appointments complete McMillan’s coaching line-up for 2026-27 with Duffy replacing the Toulon-bound Alex Codling as forwards coach and Payne assuming responsibility for the attacking brief held by senior coach Mike Prendergast, set to leave for Bath.
