Peter O’Mahony open to Munster role after huge criticism of province

Fascinating insights from POM.

Last year, former scrum-half Conor Murray made headlines when he lambasted the Munster hierarchy.

When asked whether he felt that Munster was a well-run organisation, O'Mahony bluntly replied: “No, I don’t.

“I think Munster needs to have a good look at the governance of the building, the governance of the whole organisation, and I think it needs change.

“It’s not been looked after well enough, and it kills a lot of the guys who have played a lot of rugby. I know a lot of good people who’ve left the club, and it breaks their heart seeing some of the stuff that goes on."

He went on to lament the loss of the late Garret Fitzgerald as CEO back in 2019, and implied that this was somewhat of a beginning in Munster's downturn in fortunes.

A former Munster and Ireland captain, O'Mahony retired at the end of the 2024/2025 season, and was adamant that he won't be returning in the near future to a full-time job in rugby.

However, he mentioned that he would be open to a part-time role in Munster, adding: “So it’s not something that’s on my radar at the moment. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t help as an advisory person or some sort of role that isn’t full-time because I’d love to see the club go back in the right direction.”
