Events

Munster opened their pre-season with a 29-38 defeat to Grenoble in a friendly at Thomond Park on 14 August.[1] A week later on 21 August, Munster suffered a 28-12 defeat to Connacht in their second pre-season friendly at Thomond Park.[2] On 28 August, Munster defeated London Irish 21-15 at Irish Independent Park in their final warm-up match for the new season.[3]

The new Pro12 season was launched in London on 24 August. Munster began the new season with an 18-13 win against Benetton Treviso in Cork on 5 September.[4][5] Munster were captained by CJ Stander in the opening match, where he also scored two second-half tries and earned the Man-of-the-Match award.[6]

In January, Andy Farrell joined the province in an advisory role on a part-time basis over four months before taking up his four-year contract with Ireland in the summer[7]

On 25 March, Simon Zebo scored two tries against Zebre to bring his total to 43 tries in 97 provincial appearances.[8] In doing so, he overtook Anthony Horgan's try-scoring record of 41 for Munster.[9][10]

On 24 April, it was announced that Johan Erasmus will join Munster as the newly created Director of Rugby role in a three-year deal beginning on July 1.[11][12]

On 7 May, Munster secured their place in 2016-17 Champions Cup after a 31-15 victory over the Scarlets at Thomond Park earned them a sixth-place finish in the Pro12.[13][14][15][16][17][18]

On 2 June, Munster Rugby announced a forecasted deficit of €1.9 million for the year ending 30 June 2016 at their Annual General Meeting in Limerick.[19]
