Randall has always maintained innocence in relation to the charges from 1997, which were subsequently dropped, but his hiring led to the resignation of Billy Holland, Mick O'Driscoll and Cillian Keane as independent members of Munster's professional games board, and Murphy feels the trio were correct in taking a stand.

And you can listen back to Johnny Murphy in full from yesterday's Off the Ball Breakfast on today's show.

This is Rugby Daily on Off the Ball with Bank of Ireland, a proud sponsor of Irish rugby, never stop competing.

So Connacht, Munster and Ulster are all in contention for a top eight finish in the URC with the final round of regular season games coming this weekend.

In the midst of that glut of Irish sides between 6th and 9th is Cardiff, who could deny one of the provinces a playoff spot if they win at home to the Stormers.

Premier sports broadcaster Ross Harris joined Owen Shahan on Wednesday night rugby.

He explained how the capital club have managed to weather the absolute maelstrom that is Welsh rugby at the moment.

And finally today, Eddie Jones has been suspended as head coach by the Japanese Rugby Football Union for abusing match officials during a recent tour of Australia.

The Brave Blossoms under-23 side played four games against Australian clubs last month, including against Jones' former club Randwick in Sydney.

But Jones has been punished for remarks to officials, which he admits caused discomfort to local match officials and other related parties.

He's also apologised for those comments.

But Japan have suspended the 66-year-old head coach for four games and reduced his salary.

He will miss the team's opening Nations Championship game against Italy on the 4th of July, but he will be back in the coach's box for their clash with Ireland in Newcastle a week later.

That's about all for today's Rugby Daily.
