Munster CEO Ian Flanagan to depart at end of October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MUNSTER CEO IAN Flanagan is to step down from his role at the end of October. An interim CEO will be announced in the coming weeks, with a recruitment process for a permanent successor to be undertaken in due course. Flanagan was appointed Munster CEO in 2019, succeeding the late Garrett Fitzgerald in the role. His departure comes on the back of a turbulent period for the province. At the end of last season, Munster commissioned an independent governance and organisational review. That review fo

IT’S SHAPING UP to be a big couple of months for JJ Hanrahan at Munster. The out-half went into the new season as the province’s only fit senior 10, with Jack Crowley and Tom Wood both long-term absentees, putting him in pole position to lead the squad through a testing opening run of fixtures. Now in his third spell with Munster, having re-joined from Connacht in 2025, the 34-year-old has come a long way since taking his first steps with the senior squad in 2012. “Third stint, but look, I think

Munster’s attack had a summer overhaul, with Jared Payne joining the coaching set-up following the departure of Mike Prendergast and the abandoned plan to bring in Roger Randle. A 20-cap Ireland international, Payne oversees Munste

AS OPENING NIGHTS go, Saturday felt a little different around Thomond Park, lacking the usual pre-match buzz and enthusiasm that so often greets a new campaign. In the end, just over 11,000 were present to watch Munster battle hard, but ultimately come up short against Glasgow Warriors. Last season, Munster’s first home fixture against Cardiff in round two attracted 12,066 to Limerick. The season before, a round one interpro with Connacht had an audience of 15,705. Those who put their hand in th

EARLY-SEASON OPTIMISM IS in somewhat short supply as Munster bandage up the wounds and get ready to launch themselves into a challenging start to the 2026/27 campaign with this evening’s home clash against Glasgow Warriors [KO 5.30pm, Premier Sports]. Glasgow arrive in Limerick with a matchday 23 that boasts 13 players who toured with Scotland over the summer. Champions in 2024, last season the Warriors finished top of the URC table – 10 points clear of fifth-placed Munster – and lost a home sem
