Turning it off before I have to listen to that p***k O'Mahony tell everyone how humble they are

It’s a really weird, uniquely Irish flex.  Everyone else is losing because they’re arrogant.

I don't mean this as a "Well then you can't sack him" that you sometimes get in football, but who would you consider candidates to replace him?

I guess that'll be for the tweed jackets in the boardroom to figure out.

However if in a couple of years time and Glasgow are still progressing then perhaps Franco gets a shot?

I think Franco would be really good with this group right now but I would hate to see Glasgow lose him, but it makes sense as an existing SRU employee. He would bring a harder edge to the pack and judging by Glasgow there wouldn’t be a big difference in attack.

That was such a frustrating tournament. Won twice and lost 3 times narrowly. The attack wasn’t firing and apart from today the defence hasn’t been firing either. We’ve been competitive AF but it’s still so disappointing.

In a couple of years time, is he bullet proof or something

Townsend has run his course. Some great memories, owning England, winning in Paris but every coach has a shelf life. He is as he was as a player, mercurial, capable of the sublime followed up by absolute shite. 
 

His Glasgow team could go to Leinster and win and then turn up at Rodney Parade and get pumped by a truly appalling Dragons team.

After failing at every other level, it's surely Kenny Murray's chance to step up?

Between him and Scot Gemmill imo

Ah.  I see you favour the Scotland development team rotational approach.

Clark Laidlaw - Hurricanes
Clayton McMillan - Chiefs
Vern Cotter - Blues
Clarke Dermody - Highlanders
Rob Penney - Crusaders
Tana Umag - Moana Pasifika

Can't believe we've managed to get to this stage of the Championship and nobody has mentioned what defensive system England are using

Did you know their defensive coach used to coach South Africa’s team?

Roy Laidlaw's son and Greeg's cousin. Hurricanes are top of the table with 4 wins from 4 and beat Crusaders in their last game.

Definitely one to watch.
