Jared Payne appointed as Munster's new attack coach for two years

Former Ireland international Jared Payne has been named Munster's attack coach on a two-year contract. Payne, who recently concluded a tenure with Scarlets, will collaborate with Mossy Lawler, whose contract was also extended until 2028. Payne, who played for Ulster and earned 20 caps for Ireland from 2014 to 2017, expressed enthusiasm for joining Munster, a club he regards highly for its history and community ties. His appointment follows the previous decision to appoint Roger Randle, which was scrapped due to past allegations. Munster's last season finished with a quarter-final loss in the United Rugby Championship.
