No Munster spending spree after E3m Toyota deal

MUNSTER RUGBY’S E3 million sponsorship deal with car giants Toyota will not instigate a spending spree on new players according to branch chief executive Garrett Fitzgerald.

However, the top official who admitted that captain Jim Williams is soon to sign a year long contract extension, vowed that Munster will strive to advance "from being in the top four in Europe to being number one."

Mr Fitzgerald said the multi-million euro agreement will primarily be utilised to improve spectator and player facilities at Thomond and Musgrave Park, along with funding the cost of Munster's ever increasing fixture list.
