Munster Rugby’s Graham Rowntree has been voted BKT Coach of the Season as the United Rugby Championship heads towards its Grand Final in South Africa this weekend.
Having led Munster to BKT URC glory last season, the Englishman has followed that up with another excellent run of form post-Christmas, leading his side to 11 wins in a row.
Munster finished top of the table during the regular season and reached this year’s Semi-Final of the BKT URC.
The BKT Coach of the Season is voted for by the league’s head coaches with Rowntree receiving the recognition from his peers.
“Graham has done an excellent job this season with Munster, guiding them to the top of the table in the regular season,” said Lucia Salmaso, CEO of BKT Europe.
“He has demonstrated excellent leadership with Munster’s stunning unbeaten run, and at BKT, we know that positive leadership is a key to teamwork success.”
“In creating a custom ring for the BKT Coach of the Season, our company wants this achievement to live long in the memory. Congratulations to Graham on his fantastic work this season, and we wish him all the best in the future.”
The Players’ Player of the Season is set to be revealed later today.
