Munster head coach Clayton McMillan has acknowledged that securing qualification for next season’s Champions Cup has taken on added significance in light of the province’s current financial challenges.
A voluntary redundancy scheme was outlined to Munster staff earlier this week, with the province seeking to address budgetary pressures. However, it is understood that senior playing staff will not be affected by the proposed measures.
The off-field developments come at a time when Munster are striving to re-establish themselves among Europe’s elite under the New Zealander, who took over last summer. The province have not hosted a home Champions Cup knock-out fixture in four years and failed to reach the last 16 this season.
