IRFU Advertise for Scrum Coach

[Getofmeland]

The IRFU advertised for the newly established role of high performance scrum coach, just days after Ireland's scrummaging skills were exposed in a 30-9 Six Nations defeat by England.
The job, posted on the Leinster and Munster provincial websites, called on applicants with "a complete and thorough understanding of rugby union" to plan, research and constantly evaluate current scrummaging practice.
Ireland lost scrum after scrum on Saturday and watching television pundits in Dublin even expressed their concern for the safety of replacement tighthead prop Tom Court after the Ulsterman was put under relentless pressure.The successful candidate will be chiefly responsible for implementing a new scrum programme at the country's academies that, despite producing the likes of flyhalf Jonathan Sexton and flanker Sean O'Brien, have had only one major front row graduate in the shape of looshead Cian Healy.

Oh dear... they need to do something​

As long as they don't try and pinch Rowntree before the RFU sort out whether they're keeping him or not


I believe Phil Keith-Roach is currently at Russia with Kingsley Jones, they could do worse than trying to poach him away...

Dylan Hartley might be having some spare time soon... perhaps he could teach them how to scrum illegally without being penalized.

Not doing any thing illegal and not getting penalised at the scrum now there is a thought Clearly all the Aviva, H/C and international ref's miss it every single game despite every other team, coach etc moaning about it.

It's only illegal if caught
