Shock as Graham Henry named Ireland coach

There was shock today as Graham Henry named the outgoing Ireland coach correctly as Declan Kidney.

Wide supposition had it that Henry had not bothered to learn his name and hence had no idea who was responsible for the team that the All Blacks had run over in the last five years.

?

It's a sort of a joke thing.

Absolutely inspired. I can just see him in a press conference "Eh... the little guy... the bald excuses man... he's with the green shirted lads who we do our training drills against sometimes. Oh, Declan Kidney! Thats it. From Scotland, or Ireland, or one of them other loser countries."

Aprils fools day was yesterday.

I heard he mistakenly named Andy Robinson as the outgoing Ireland coach. Maybe Robbo and Deccie look similar from a distance

Empire - I just wonder where you get these naughty ideas from

Yep, Notch has him.

"Yeah..... yeah, he was good..., not gryte, mind, but good for his level. Kinda floated his arse close to the turf too much for moy likin', but we can't all float like the All Blacks, can we? - I said Can we? It wasn't rhetorical!

Didn't say a whole lot as a fella from a talkative part'uh Europe. But I liked the guy - he knew his place and didn't get in the wye. He should maybe try coaching a Province when he grows up a piece. Maybe one uh them Provinces close to him like Wales or Scotland or that other one that the fella Kidney is in charge of.

Oh that's him? _ Well I liked him too. Who was he? I thought you meant their famous number 13 - whatshisnymeO'Dwyer....or something???? Is that who we're talkin' about? Sackin a plyer isn't good karma but if the Bulgarians wanta try it, let'em at it."

It's Kiss and make up time.
