Mike Ruddock

[NotreDameRFC]

Given the movement of coaches in Ireland in last few years...Bradley to EdinburghMc Loughlins uncertain futureAnd coaches like Kidney McGahan and Schmidt might move on various reasons... upwards downwards or sideways.... i wonder what the IRFU has in mind for Mike Ruddock.....?With the U20s winning in France he might be heading for 2 6n championships in 3 years after taking over in 2010...One could argue his Cv is a bit up and down... highlight been Wales GS in 2005 , with as far as i know the only team to win GS win more away wins than home wins....lowlight been his time at Worcester and relegation I know he was with Leinster way back in the day.....was he responsible for bringing through Bod? Horgan? Darcy? etc....Therefore Is youth coaching his strength?But he is GS coach.....could we see him back at the helm at one of the provinces or even Ireland down the line....Any thoughts?

Despite their win against France, his u20's team looks poorly coached. The relegation of Worcester, the shambles in Wales after the Grand Slam.

On another note why was he sacked by Wales after coaching them to the grand slam ? i know it was the Welsh players who got him sacked but why ?
