Munster satisfied Conor Murray got proper care and attention

Munster Rugby are confident they gave Conor Murray the best possible care following the scrum-half’s clash of heads with Glasgow’s Tim Swinson during their Champions Cup game at Scotstoun on Saturday.

Competition organisers EPCR on Sunday instructed its Medical Advisory Group to convene an Untoward Incident Review Group to investigate the timeline of events and procedures put in place by Munster after Murray went down having appeared to lose consciousness following his tackle on the Warriors lock.

Murray, 27, was later removed from the field to undergo a Head Injury Assessment, conducted by Munster medics, which he passed and after a five-and-a-half minute absence was allowed to return to complete the game. The Ireland star completed his HIA 2 post-match and has passed HIA 3 since returning to Limerick, Munster communications manager Fiona Murphy told the Irish Examiner. Munster have been in dialogue with the Review Group, providing a chronological order of their treatment and decision- making processes following the clash of heads and are satisfied their procedures were well managed and with the best interests of player welfare the priority.
