O’Sullivan’s Successor - Names in the Frame - Part #6
Declan by Default?
It could come to that you know, given some of the reports I’ve read today! Declan Kidney appears to be the only person really in the frame!
The calls have started to go out and renowned managers have declared themselves out. So who’s left?
White - Out, Howard - Out.
John Mitchell seems happy guiding Western Force in the Super 14, Wayne Smith is contract to the New Zealand RFU.
Ruddock - Out, Alan Gaffney has declared an interest, but they could still go for Kidney.
He won’t inject that “newness” that Gatland has injected to the Wales set up, he’s well known to half the squad! He’s a good selector and decent tactician - but he got the Munster job in the same way nearly a decade ago when Andy Leslie and John Bevan didn’t want it.
If nobody else steps up Kidney might just be the man, we’re not saying that’s a bad thing - just that nobody else seems to fancy the job!
