Chiefs 2025

[Bovidae]

From a Stuff article:

Jacobson - passed the HIA2 and HIA3 tests but does have a broken nose
Poihipi - had scans on his knee yesterday and awaiting full results

[Bovidae]

The worst news for Poihipi.

New Munster head coach all but confirmed

Munster look to be close to appointing their next boss after bookies suspended the market following a flurry of bets on Clayton McMillan...

[Darren]

Will be a shame for the Chiefs if he departs. He has been great.

[Dan54]

I guessing,if true, part of it would be Clayton wanting to widen experience?

[Bovidae]

Surely McMillan would want to win something before leaving (if true).

[Mauss]

I'll believe it when I see it. The guy reporting it, Neil Fissler, doesn't have a particularly good reputation when it comes to breaking news. According to Fissler, McKenzie should've already been signed to La Rochelle (which obviously wasn't true).

So not saying it's not happening but it's also not a particularly reliable source of information.

@Mauss

I'll give that a hope upvote.

Having said that, Donk doesn't appear to be able to get a functioning line out.

What's worse is that one of his likely replacements would seem to be the current LO / forwards coach....

[Yeetyaah]

@Mauss well here's fucking hoping holy shit this has ruined my day

[Billy Tell]

For a country that whines on and on about poaching the Irish certainly excel at it themselves.

[Yeetyaah]

So this source is from an Irish betting company who were taking bets? Is that really enough sauce to report on? Am I missing something or is this just an article for the sake of clicks.

Aight nah it's over, this has a direct quote from Clayton.

Alright. I guess I'll believe it then.

Bollocks.

[Yeetyaah]

Sooooo what's Schmidt up to next year?

[darylmitchell]

Surely Jono Gibbes will get the job next year?

[ploughboy]

stink but had to happen

[Wurzel]

Gatland come on down

The logical choice amongst the current coaching group. Hill and Randle are assistant coaches.

[frugby]

Joe Schmidt? Leon McDonald?
