OTB Rugby · Rugby Daily | Nienaber raises doubts over Leinster future, Cullen hits out at media · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

We're speaking of mixed bag to be fair.

We got off to a good start and then we lost our way a little bit in the middle and we found a little bit of rhythm at the back end of the season but then we also encountered injuries that we didn't have.

So look, those are the challenges that you have in rugby.

But it's been enjoyable.

I've enjoyed the grind of getting here and we didn't win today but we're a tight group and we'll grow from this experience.

OTB Rugby · Rugby Daily | McMillan raises doubts on future, Irish teams joining PWR? · 8 May 2026 podcast

I imagine that there's a lot of people that are doing a fair bit of reflection around this.

Very early on I communicated to the Irish rugby and our boards and our players that if I'm not the right person to lead this team forward then people can make that decision and I'll accept it.

You'll need to speak to those people around how they feel about it but I feel a huge sense of loyalty

to our players who are looking to me in precious situations to understand what my position is and I have their back the same way that they have my back.

Now I think there's still a bit of water to run under the bridge and you know this is

there are things that people are going to reflect on and I encourage that because there are changes that I think that need to be made to give me the confidence that I have the support to be able to do the job that's needed.

Other people might make a decision around whether I'm here next year or the year after and if that's what people decide, if I'm not the best person to lead this team forward, that will be their decision.

But I don't walk away from

a fight easily and there are plenty of people in this building who I believe want me to stay here and believe in the direction that we are heading and to walk away would feel like I'm letting them down.

OTB Rugby · Rugby Daily | McMillan on "outstanding human being" Randle, *too* much change for Leinster? · 17 Apr 2026 podcast

I would ask people to put their trust in me and other people.

I think if you jumped onto the Chiefs website, for example, and you read the comments about

Roger Randall, you'll see glowing reports of a man that's loved by a huge cross-section in New Zealand.

A family man, an honest man and one that I trust unequivocally.

I can understand that people will have an opinion but it's not one that I share and I honestly believe that he can come here and help our team and players.
