I would be amazed if he took on a professional province or club on a weekly grind.
I mean, he's been on the international circuit since 2013, really.
He's worked with Ireland, he's worked with the All Blacks in between World Rugby and then Australia.
So he hasn't done...
Leinster or anybody like Leinster since 2013 I'd be very surprised if he went back and I also don't think necessarily that you should go back but we asked him and he just sounded to me like a guy who couldn't wait to actually step back from this and was almost looking forward to it and I think he's been
like that for a while.
I think he's been slightly, he certainly sounds like he's been slightly reluctantly pressed to become the Wallabies head coach and to continue on a little bit longer than he expected.
And I think, as he said, he just wants to go back to New Zealand and have a look at King Country training and just take life a little bit easier.
I would be very surprised.
Of course, he's coming over to Ireland.

I think they'll take a few months about it.
You'd imagine that Ronan O'Gara would like it and would be a very interesting candidate.
Well, it's not just the Munster factor.
It's things that were said and done around the whole La Rochelle-Leinster rivalry as well.
I mean, God.
