Video - Connacht coach gives one of the most ****ed off post match interviews in years
Sky interviewer Graham Simmons interviewed Connacht head coach Kieran Keane in the aftermath of his side's loss to Cardiff at the weekend.
Mr Keane was not in the mood it seems, and what transpired was three minutes of resilient gruffness from the former All Black.
With a lifetime of coaching experience in New Zealand, the former All Black joined Connacht from the Chiefs, where he currently works as Assistant Coach to Dave Rennie. With Keane heading up Attack, the Super Rugby side scored an impressive 76 tries in 17 games during the 2016 campaign.
Keane, a former school teacher, also had a spell as Assistant Coach to Jamie Joseph at the Highlanders from 2011 to 2012 but it was in his role as Head Coach of the Tasman Makos that the man, more commonly known as KK, made his greatest mark.
During his tenure with the Makos, Keane led the team to an ITM Cup Championship victory and promotion into the Premiership in 2013. The following year, he took them to the premiership final, which they ultimately lost to Taranaki. As well as shaping their attacking style of rugby, Keane helped promote more than 15 players to Super Rugby during his time with the province.
Keane coached the New Zealand U-16 and U-17 age grade sides for seven years as well as the Marlborough and Hawkes Bay NPC sides. A centre in his youth, he played six times for the All Blacks in 1979, represented Canterbury for 10 seasons and played for New Zealand Universities.

So were intercepts but players (no doubt coached like Carios says above) started cutting out the classic draw and pass with no intent to catch the ball..
Go to commentsYep, same problem that has happened with Australia. I'm hoping this decision is separate from the review. I don't really know how big the welsh union is but I would have thought a head coach could get heavily involved in what type of player and rugby they were going to encourage in the country.
