Munster Rugby Men’s Pre-Season | Brad Mayo Interview
1st September 2025 By The Editor

Munster Rugby Head of Athletic Performance Brad Mayo.
We spoke to Head of Athletic Performance Brad Mayo last month to see how the Munster men’s team are preparing for the 2025/26 campaign.
Pre-season began on Monday, July 21, with a five-week block of training culminating in a training camp at Rockwell College.
There were open training sessions at Ennis RFC and Rockwell College with players and staff meeting supporters with a further open training session planned for Castleisland RFC on Tuesday, September 16. Full details will be announced shortly.
The team then had a down week and returned to the HPC today (Monday) ahead of the first pre-season game away to Gloucester this Friday night.
Munster face Bath in new Head Coach Clayton McMillan’s first home game at Virgin Media Park on Friday week (September 12) with a 7pm kick-off. Buy match tickets here.
