Taz-Where did you get that information as I have seen nowhere that he(Penney) was ruled out?

Editor-- This article originally said Rob Penney had missed out on the Munster coaching job. That information was incorrect.
Jeez he's very young to have had a stroke. Poor guy.
Never mind perception because it isn’t real. It’s only what people think. Go out and make them think something else.

Sorry to hear that Leaky. I know of a couple of younger folk that have had strokes alright (including one who was a teenager when it happened), but these were as a consequence of removing tumours from the brain and the subsequent treatment.

A lot of people can have 'mini'-strokes and not even realise they've had them. Amazing how little we know about certain diseases, our own bodies and the brain in particular.
Marty in the Morning
sad to hear it, he always looked quite fit and laid back on the TV....best wishes to him and the family,
\"As she lay there dozing next to me, one voice inside my head kept saying, \'Relax, you\'re not the first doctor to sleep with one of his patients\', but the another kept reminding me, \' you are a veterinarian!\'\"
Best wishes to himself and all his family. A tough time for all. If he shows as much strength and character in his hospital bed as he did on the pitch he'll pull through.

The former Australia rugby captain Michael Lynagh is in a stable condition after suffering a stroke, the Queensland Rugby Union has confirmed.
The 48-year-old Lynagh, who was instrumental in Australia's 1991 World Cup win and captained the Wallabies from 1993 to 1995, was admitted to Royal Brisbane Hospital on Wednesday complaining of headaches and blurred vision while visiting his hometown from London.
Doctors were initially unsure of the nature of the illness but the QRU confirmed in a statement that he has suffered a stroke.
"Former Queensland Reds and Wallabies captain Michael Lynagh was hospitalised in Brisbane on Monday night after suffering a stroke," the statement read. "Mr Lynagh remains in a stabilised condition in the Royal Brisbane Hospital and is undergoing tests in an effort to discover the cause of the illness. The Lynagh family has requested their privacy be respected at this time. The thoughts of the entire Queensland Rugby community are with Michael and the Lynagh family."
His fellow Queensland and Australia World Cup-winning team-mate Tim Horan tweeted that Lynagh was walking around. "Michael Lynagh undergoing MRI this morning. Up and walking," he wrote.
Another former team-mate Andrew Slack said that Lynagh's illness had come as a shock to those who know him. "He's stayed very fit since retiring some years ago," Slack said. "This is a bolt out of the blue."

Well that's good to hear, wish him a speedy and full recovery
Con Artist
Good news, hopefully we'll see him back on Sky Sports shortly.
Doesn't look like a full recovery is on the cards unfortunately, very sad.

My father in law suffered a brain haemhorrage nearly 10 years ago now, whoah, and has never recovered his full field of vision in his right eye.
Could have been a lot worse from the sounds of it.
'But his doctor, Rob Henderson, said that the former Wallabies captain had made a remarkable recovery.'
Feck me, Rob's moved on since his time with us.
thats very sad to hear ,hope he gets well soon ,I cannot think of Lynagh without pairing him with Nick Farr Jones what a great combination.
