South Africa European based coach, so back to Munster?
@Sean Fahey: jaysus. If your not going to say something constructive then don’t say anything at all.
@Anthony O Connell: with the new lineup of coaches at Munster and little gain this season you have to consider if we got it wrong with Felix?
I’m more and more convinced it’s the mentality and/or skills of the players plus the Munster style of play that is/was the problem. Not the coaching skills of Felix or Flannery.
Fair play to him. Hope he goes well.
Only Irish player with a RWC winners medal? :P
