Munster building for the future at €9.75m training centre

Munster Rugby move into their new €9.75m training centre at the University of Limerick this week with the players wondering why they have been operating between two bases for so long.

After a decade of hand-wringing about the necessity for, and then the location of a single training base, then three and a half years of planning and construction once the decision to forge ahead was made, Munster will finally take possession of a state of the art centre of rugby operations.

New director of rugby Rassie Erasmus will be the lucky boss that gets the keys to what he has described an “above world class” facility.
