That’s the same Gilroy who suggested resting players against Scotland to avoid France if they lost to New Zealand at the outset of the tournament. The Irish Media, Joe Molloy (on Virgin) and the OTB crew in particular have shown Scotland no respect. We need to be careful. We’re the better team but upsets and freak results happen in sport. That’s the beauty of it.
Rassie will never be forgotten in Munster for how he handled the passing of Foley. No matter how it ended he showed his class and humanity then when he was still a v young man
Was Gilroy one of the presenters who completely dismissed wales a few years ago? And he accuses a World Cup winning coach and player of being arrogant!!’
I know plenty of Rassie critics from his departure at Munster but nobody would turn down the offer he got from South Africa. It looks like his departure even helped Munster find the absolute best man for the job in Rowntree. People fall for his persona too easily when deep down it’s very carefully crafted to generate success.
Rowntree probably wouldn’t have been given a chance if Rassie or Nienaber were still there. There’s nothing to say the latter would’ve been able to deliver a League title either.
