I don't see a thread on this yet:

He didn't amount to much as Scotland forwards coach but his tenure in charge of the Leinster forwards brought them a harder edge. He's an astute judge of players with Stan Wright being just one who was plucked from obscurity due to Brewer's recommendation.
On the negative side, while he developed the Leinster pack into an abrasive unit, they played a very rigid style where pick and drives were the order of the day and there was no room for variation. He was also kicked out of Leinster due to him and the backs coach at the time, David Knox, hating each other which can't exactly have lead to a healthy atmosphere in the dressing room.
