Ulster Rugby are proud to announce Graham Henry to be their new director of rugby.
Graham Henry in a press conference yesterday insists he can be the man to take Ulster forward.
"Obviously I'm both surprised and delighted with the approach from Ulster Rugby and it took me all of 5 seconds to say yes to the job opportunity and challenge such as this. There is a degree of upheaval for sure but I am in this for the long haul. Its a different environment in terms of rugby but with I bring with me 45 years service in the entertainment industry built on loyalty and developing a team on the big stages", the former entertainment officer of Pontins Lowestoft added.
Asked what changes he would make Henry said, " There has been great foundations put in with the band and the end of game gurning contest. I love the half time kicking thing but may mix it up a bit with a knobbly knees competition every now and then".
When UR recruitment officer Bryn Cunningham was questioned whether or not there had been any confusion over the signing of retired Pontins officer Graham Henry he remained insistent that they had got the right man.
" To be honest similar things were said when we signed hard man enforcer Deysel and people thought we were getting Vin." flapped Cunningham.
Also there was that confusion over Les Kiss's lunch when he ordered a bargain bucket with loads of breast and I came back with Rodney Ah You.
But we can assure all Ulster Rugby fans that Graham was the best available option and top of our list. He has a proven track record of success despite his company going into administration and being bought out of receivership." Cunningham lamented.
CEO Shane Logan was unavailable for comment.
