Quinlan 
Is he still on the radio in the mornings? Havenât heard him in ages. God he was/is woeful.
I see Jerry Flannery handed him his tae in a mug this week.
âROGâ is a humourless bore
go onâŚ
"If youâre playing a sport, criticism is going to come and you take it from the right people. Your coaches are going to give you constructive criticism to make you a better player. As a player, what you want from that is that the coach has gone and put work in - that he has done the analysis and heâs thought about this and put work into it before he passes it on. Players with a growth mind-set will take it on-board to become better players.
"For me, as a coach, I know thereâs going to be criticism of the team and thatâs it, because you rarely ever play the perfect game. So youâve got to be able to take that. I suppose when people hear someone like Alan Quinlan coming out and criticising how weâre going, if I look at it like Alan Quinlan played some great games for Munster, people will take on board that if Alan is speaking on Munster.
"Most people watch a game to be entertained and expect the co-comms - the guy that is doing commentary with [the main commentator] - to do a bit of analysis. But I donât think that just having played for Munster gives you any sort of insight. You actually have to prepare for the games.
"When I donât feel like people have prepared properly for the games and theyâre doing it last-minute, you have to look at it from the point of view that we spent a lot of time preparing and working hard. We had a lot of young players who were playing in that match. We were missing two international loose-heads, an international hooker, and international tight-head, Gerbrandt Grobler, Dave OâCallaghan, Peter OâMahony - a Lions captain, Tommy OâDonnell - an international 7, CJ Stander - Lions 8, Conor Murray - Lions 9, Ian Keatley - Irish 10, Tyler Bleyendaal, Andy Conway - another Irish international, Jaco Taute - Springbok international, Chris Farrell - Irish international at 13, Dan Goggin - another good, young playerâŚ
"We were missing this amount of players and you have to look at things in context of the game. I donât know whether he had done any preparation for it. I donât think he had. It didnât seem like he had because when people relayed the comments back to me, I just went, âThis doesnât make senseâ.
"Itâs that, I suppose, people will watch it and say, âWell Alan Quinlan must know whatâs going on at Munster because he played for themâ but Alan Quinlan has absolutely no idea whatâs going on at Munster. Nothing. He hasnât got an iota of what we do in here.
"I understand that people will come out and give their opinion but their opinion should be based on something. If itâs not based on preparation, well then theyâre actually not doing their job and they should not be getting paid for it, in my opinion. Like, if I donât do my work as a coach Iâm going to get sacked. I can still get sacked, even if I do my work and results donât go my way and if I canât get my message across to the players⌠or itâs even the wrong message. And Iâm happy with that but I think there should be a level of accountability for other people out there.
"If, for instance, Sky think that itâs deemed credible that if someone has just played for a club that they can go out and just give their opinion without doing any work, well, theyâre kind of cheating the viewers. People are paying for their subscription to watch it and they want to get some sort of analysis or⌠if theyâre not getting it then there is a breakdown there.
"But, look, Quinny was very good on Irelandâs Fittest Family. Heâs good at that stuff."
Quinlan and Flannery both come across as cunts in that.
Joe got a 2:1 but he could have got a first if he had done a little bit of work.
I donât mind Flannery I have to say. Quinlan is a fucking clown though.
Youâre surprised that bitter cunt hates both? 
I see France have appointed the charismatic Jacques Brunel as head coach. I presume this is them officially giving up on international rugby.
Brunel will have a lot of work on his hands to engineer a revival, it will require a suspension of hostilities and some bridge building to get the French back on track.
Thatâs actually a different Brunel
And this Brunel chap is not managing a team from the United Kingdom. So the attempted joke collapses.
Build a bridge mate.
Brunel was half French
Wales have some injury crisis ahead of their opening match against Scotland on Saturday. Eight British Lions out injured and most likely to miss the entire championship - Liam Williams, Jonathan Davies, George North, Dan Biggar, Rhys Webb, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton and Taulupe Faletau. Back up out half Rhys Priestland out as well for the entire championship.
