Munster Cancels Roger Randle Attack-Coach Appointment After Backlash Over 1997 Allegation

The reversal underscores mounting governance strain at Munster.

Overview

  • Munster confirmed late Thursday that the appointment would not proceed by mutual agreement.
  • Randle said the resurfaced 1997 rape claim in Durban is false and he is deeply saddened.
  • The hiring had already triggered resignations from Munster’s Professional Game Committee and its Commercial Advisory Group.
  • Reports said senior leaders finalized the hire before consulting the games committee and the IRFU voiced reservations.
  • Munster now must restart its search for an attack coach to replace departing assistant Mike Prendergast.
