Former Ireland and Lions second-row Jeremy Davidson to coach at Bordeaux next season

The 42-year-old has been at second-tier Aurillac since 2011.

IRISHMAN JEREMY DAVIDSON will leave Aurillac to join top flight Bordeaux-Begles as forwards coach next season, the French second division outfit said on Monday.

The 42-year-old former British and Irish Lions lock had been at Aurillac since 2011.

Davidson was previously forwards coach at Castres and then Ulster, two clubs he’d also played for.

After five years in charge Raphael Ibanez is due to leave Bordeaux at the season’s end with former Italy handler Jacques Brunel taking over as head coach.

    Only beating Malta by two goals is embarrassing

    I’m glad Southgate got the job. He’s a useless pr*** and the best thing you can say about him is he is Allardyce’s sloppy seconds. A sad comment on the quality of English managers.

    He is only caretaker manager as there wasn’t enough time to find a long term replacement before these games. Calm down.

    @Chocolatito: It’s not embarrassing at all. Malta rarely get hammered by teams, in the last year they’ve only lost by one goal in games against Croatia, Italy and Austria. The reason they got hammered by Scotland was because they had a player unfairly sent off and fell apart from there.

    No. It is embarrassing. It’s f***ing embarrassing. Malta’s top player only played today because he got someone else to cover his postman’s round. To be fair. Any team Rooney can get into now has to be shite.

    When was the last time Rooney had a good game? If he played for a smaller club there’s no way he’d be playing for England.
