Re: Aaron Dundon
And they are keeping Malone on as skills and video analyst. Basic skills have been shocking over this past couple of seasons and the inability to break teams down would show poor analysis of the competition.

If he was at Leinster during the same period as Jonno you would assume it is his appointment. Schmidt maybe with a overseeing approval.LEINSTER HOOKER AARON Dundon will today be unveiled as Grenoble’s forwards coach in an announcement which will also include the promotion of Bernard Jackman to director of rugby with the French club.
The former Irish, Leinster and Connacht hooker has been with Grenoble since going there as defence consultant in 2011. One of his first announcements will be the appointment today of Leinster hooker Aaron Dundon, who had followed a very similar path as Jackman.
Dundon, a Kiwi who made 49 appearances for Leinster since 2010 before retiring this week, has been forwards coach with Clontarf and coach with Newbridge College.
Jackman coached Clontarf and Newbridge RFC on his way to now taking the top job in Grenoble, where former Munster scrum-half Mike Prendergast will continue as backs coach next season.

So when reading Folk's comments on the official site, did anyone else glaze over and reach for a drink, just to remove the taste of bile in their mouths?
Totally agree about the skills and game analysis, but will FOLK be told what to do? No point in bringing in good coaches unless he listens to them.
Will we at long last get a pack which is harder than Angel Delight?

Re: Aaron Dundon
I hope so, Top 14 is full of hard forwards wanting to knock lumps out of each other, if both Gibbes and Dundon can translate that to our pack, while keeping their skills levels up, we have the makings of a good seasonTighter End wrote: Will we at long last get a pack which is harder than Angel Delight?
Re: Aaron Dundon
This is good news and we have needed a scrum coach for a while IMO. We used to have a strong scrum but in recent years we've all been hoping that we'd manage to get par in the set piece rather than march anyone backward.
His first job is to lock Rodney in the gym for a month.

Re: Aaron Dundon
Well, it's not one to get the juices flowing on the face of it, but any Irishman who holds his job in France after the Paddy who took him there has been sacked can't be all bad. I call that logic, others may call it bullshit.
LOOK we have gurned for years about coaching, I still think we have a walking timebomb in charge of the coaches but let's hope that FOLK at least has the ability to judge who has actually got talent.
Like others I struggle to see what Niall Malone has brought to the area of skills, we have too often looked bereft of the basics but who knows, perhaps (& it is literally just a token perhaps) the guys who have gone just didn't listen to him or buy his ideas. It would hardly be a surprise in the Spanners fun factory to imagine even more discord than we had thought.
So we've got what many of us asked for, not just a shake up but the addition of a scrum coach which many here have moaned in favour of.
Suppose it is now time to sit back and hope it makes a difference. A little bird tells me that Kiss knows that he is now on borrowed time and that if things don't turn & turn quickly, he will have a not too distant date with the guillotine.
Oi, Les, shape up son or FOLK. Last chance saloon.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Re: Aaron Dundon
Personally happy enough to see someone like Dundon coming in, it is a clear Gibbes pick and thats a positive to me.
As for Malone the only possible explanation is that he is Les yes man.
So short of a video analyst we have enough coaches and operations managers to do without Kiss
