What a deterrent!
Hopefully she utterly rinses him in the divorce.
Go to commentsI don't think Ireland are thinking that far ahead at the moment. I'd say plenty would be looking at Easterby's development this 6Nations. More recently the IRFU tend to recruit from within. He's in his 11th season in the Irish coaching set up. Humphreys as the new IRFU director of performance knows him well enough from their playing days.
A good 6Nations would put him in the mix.
