Munster’s €15m world-class centre revealed

Rassie Erasmus believes Munster’s new world class High Performance Centre can be a major recruitment tool for the province as they bid to rejoin the European rugby elite.

The new director of rugby is the lucky recipient of a state of the art training centre at the University of Limerick which for the first time in the professional era brings Munster players and staff together under one roof, ending 20 years of twin-base model which split squad members between Cork and Limerick.

Just arrived from South Africa this summer, Erasmus only had to wait three months to receive the keys for the facility, part of a €15 million UL construction project that will also feature a new 25-metre swimming pool and diving pool.
