Conor Murray criticised the Munster hierarchy for the calibre of signings made over the last decade and condemned penny-pinching around travel to and from games in recent years. He recounted strained relations during his final seasons at his home province and described a difficult relationship with coach Graham Rowntree. The revelations appear in 'Cloud Nine', released today. Murray called out recruitment missteps that he believes weakened squad depth and questioned budgetary choices that limited comfort and preparation. The disclosures underscore ongoing debates about resource allocation, player treatment, and management accountability within Munster Rugby.
