NIALL O’DONOVAN HAS been appointed Munster’s new manager, the province have announced today.
Signing a two-year deal, O’Donovan takes over from Shaun Payne who is returning to his native South Africa.
“We are delighted that Niall has agreed to take over the role of team manager,” said chief executive, Garrett Fitzgerald.
“Niall has had a long association with Munster Rugby and having acted as forwards coach in the past and more recently as Munster ‘A’ Team Manager he brings a wealth of experience that can only enhance the newly appointed coaching structure,” he added.
The Shannon clubman was assistant coach to Declan Kidney until 2002 and has acted as forwards coach to the Ireland senior panel in the past.
That was a brilliant game of Gaelic Football. Really glad I decided to watch it. Brilliant end to end football, no blanket defences and slow build up, just brilliant long kick passing and quick attacking play. Fair play to Monaghan too and young O Toole, fortune favour the brave!
That was a game for the ages. Proper old school 90s football. Monaghan were poor in the first half but whatever Vinny Corey said to them at HT worked a treat. Tip of the hat to both teams in what was a titanic tussle in the second half. New York, the Rossies and now Monaghan staring the 2023 cship with a bang. Long may it continue!
@Daniel Sheeran: don’t forget the Banner men too! Great win over the Rebels for them last week! I’m optimistic with all the games this summer that we will get a lot more great games hopefully.
Some balls to go for a goal!
Really enjoyed that game, but the GAA really need to do something about the sly digs off the ball that box in b*lls in the second half was pure filth. Didn’t fully see the one with P Harte but again was off the ball.
@JG362: brilliant game some excellent football from both sides throw in d usual few Tyrone sneaky jabs (They just can’t help themselves
Late rally,clearly didn’t watch the match.
