Keith Earls has joined Conor Murray in questioning the Munster rugby hierarchy, claiming the constant turnover of coaches and game-plans throughout his Munster career post-Declan Kidney was “shocking”.

Speaking onstage with Murray – who has joined him now in retirement – in Thomond Park on Thursday night at the launch of the latter’s new book ‘Cloud Nine: My Life in Rugby’, Earls seconded some of the criticisms Murray has in his book about the Munster organisation which presided over both Lions and multiple Six Nations championship winners failing to even play in a European Cup final in their respective careers in red.
