Surprised at that I thought O Carroll was doing well in a director of rugby role signing players. To go back on the coaching side shocked me

There needs to be more allowance for club trained players. We need to get more juniors playing the game at every club.

It's so obvious, and fans have been saying it since Day One. But do they listen?
