[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1085590, member: 50079"] Limerick Leader reporting that Rowntree will be confirmed as our new head coach. I'm in two minds about it. On the one hand, we know that he's here for the long run, he's clearly a very good unit coach and he's a good fit for the club. I have huge respect for him and how he's conducted himself with us. He also has coming on 15 years of coaching under his belt. On the other hand, it does feel like after such a long, drawn out process we struggled to find an outside candidate of some sort. That's obviously not a slight on Rowntree by any means, but just how Munster have carried out the process. I hope he has a Farrellesque rise, but this is not a case where Rowntree was being groomed as the heir apparent and allowed to transition. It ultimately hinges on the coaching ticket we can put together. I also hope we do go ahead with the Director of Rugby role. I'm happy with the appointment if we have another senior figure in a DoR role. [/QUOTE]
