O’Sullivan’s Successor - Names in the Frame - Part #7
Kidney’s still in the frame and staking his claim more than ever as Munster march in the Heineken Cup, but another name is in the frame, Heyneke Meyer.
Heyneke Meyer has confirmed his interest have quitting coaching when he wasn’t offered the vacant Springboks job, he’d already lead the Bulls to a historic Super 14 victory!
“But it’s been hard to watch the Super 14. I’m giving a rugby course for 20 schools next week and have been in touch with some of my old Bulls colleagues and suddenly I‘ve got that excitement and vibe again.
“I miss being involved in something special and a culture where peope will die for each other. I always thought that Irish rugby has that passion.”
“Obviously it would be an honour if Ireland approach me but at this stage there has been no official approach.”
“I believe Ireland can go places. I really thought you guys would have a great World Cup and I’ve always that Ireland was one of the teams that can match the southern hemisphere sides up front, plus you’ve got brilliant backs. So I’ve always kept an eye on them.”
Kidney remains the favourite…
