Fingerprint scanners, bunk beds for mid-training naps and flash boardrooms? ‘Tis a long way from the days of Gaillimh and Claw.
Professionalism arrived to Munster Rugby in 1995.
21 years later and Munster Rugby have fully professional set-up. They don’t like to be rushed.
Two weeks ago, Munster moved into their €9.5m High Performance Centre at University of Limerick. On Tuesday, they opened their doors to the media and photographers to see the full kit and caboodle.
There was even a surprise guest in attendance.
Can’t get enough of the rugby, this lad.
A handy video from Munster gives rugby fans a nice glimpse at the entire set-up and there are some more pictures [below] just in case they missed anything.
