Farrell To Assist Munster In Consultant Role

Munster Rugby can confirm that Andy Farrell will join the province in an advisory role with immediate effect.

The role will see the incoming Ireland defence coach provide support to Munster head coach Anthony Foley and his coaching group on a part-time basis over the next four months.

Commenting on the appointment, Munster Rugby CEO Garrett Fitzgerald said: “We have been looking for additional support for our coaching staff and with the timely availability of an experienced coach such as Andy Farrell, we felt his inclusion would be hugely beneficial in assisting our coaching team.”

David Nucifora, IRFU Performance Director, commented: “Andy’s gardening leave prevents him from coaching in the international game at this time but he has agreed to an advisory role working with Anthony and his backroom team.”
