This wonât end well for Munster. As well as the perpetual Cork v Limerick tension in the organisation it now seems like it will be a bunch of McMillans guys meshed together with sceptical local lads, all pulling in different directions

What was your last wish of the 3 @Kyle?
If Munster get rid of Flanagan and Costello (who allegedly seems to have fucked up bigtime here specifically) there could a positive at least after all this. But all in all this is an absolute shitshow.
If I had to guess this will see the end of the CEO, Munster will renage on Randle and McMillan will use that as his opportunity to walk on a point of principle

Humphries appointed McMillan. He surely had some clue.
Whether he did or whether he didnât he has put clear blue water between the IRFU and the decision for now unless something else comes out in the wash
Ian Costello has turned the Munster academy around and was excellent in rowentrees absence last year.
Heâs made a monumental fuck up here.
Iâm barely qualified to cross the road and even i know itâs all about perception rightly or wrongly in this world.
I (probably wrongly) wouldâve assumed the IRFU or Munster wouldâve been a bit livelier to public perception after the Chris Farrell shite too.

My reading of it is that McMillan arrived without his own men and had the local lads foisted upon him - two of whom had been gunning for his job. It hasnât worked and executive branch are trying to redress this by giving McMillan more power.

I think in life we often assume people in positions of decision making power have earned that position through some sort of knowledge or experience. Then we are left to wonder, how could they make such bad decisions, there must be some factors we didnât consider that they did. Some complication, some nuance.
Usually they are just thick cunts.

I remember during brexit watching Theresa May and thinking, sheâs PM of the UK, she surely must have something about her, but then as it went on realising she was clearly just a hapless and talentless hack. A life lesson.

Then you saw the next few PMs and the May era looks like halcyon days

My memory was they handled the Chris Farrell thing well no?
This is what I think will happen.
Id say he has insisted on this up front that he be allowed make his own decisions for 27/28

Bad commitment to make if so. Pretty obvious result of that was gonna be that heâd freeze out prendergast or whoever to bring in his own guys.
If you appointment a DOR / manager he should 100 percent be picking his own staff for any number of reasons.

Head Coach. Costello is in the director of rugby type role.
It was a bit of an all-round fuckup in Irish rubby as it was well known why they were coming back to Ireland. Connacht very likely knew about the Coulson situation when they signed him and similarly I wouldnât doubt that Munster knew Farrell was involved, albeit nowhere near the extent of Coulsonâs crimes. No way in hell the IRFU wouldnât have been aware of it anyways.
