The Big Interview with Ian Flanagan: 'A Munster supporter should be very excited about the next five, 10 years'

Recent hiccups on the field notwithstanding, new Munster CEO Ian Flanagan believes the province’s future is bright. Though he thinks they could do more to tell the world their unique story. For his part, the man raised at the Dolphin end of Musgrave Park will draw on his experience at Leicester City and Barcelona to ensure Munster will always be more than a club.

It is clear from the moment we sit down in the chief executive’s office that this is not the day for detail. Three months into his tenure as only the second man in the professional rugby era to steer the good ship Munster, Ian Flanagan has wider horizons.
