Munster Launches External Review of Randle Appointment Fallout

The IRFU signals support for head coach Clayton McMillan.

Overview

  • McMillan’s position looks secure after The42 reported Friday that the IRFU and Munster want him to remain as head coach.
  • Munster will hire an outside firm to review how the Randle hire was handled and to interview those involved to map what went wrong.
  • Staff were told at a Thursday town hall that compulsory redundancies are being sought after voluntary exits fell short, according to The42.
  • The turmoil began after Munster named Roger Randle attack coach on April 15, then faced a backlash over a 1997 allegation he denies, followed by committee resignations and last week’s joint decision not to proceed.
  • The coaching search restarts late in the cycle, with McMillan saying assistant Mossy Lawler could cover the attack role though it is not preferred, as a depleted squad prepares to face Connacht on Saturday.
