Do not Joe gentle into that good night

[Peg Leg]

Joe has obviously put the word out that he is considering making the journey home to sound out the reaction.
I think the word has gotten a resounding response and he will make his way to where suits him and the family best.
Joe doesn't need this noise to support a pitch for another 2 years with the irfu, at this stage they are pitching to him.

Joe will stay until 2019.

Do you know something the rest of us don't?

You can't be toying with us like that

NZ announce that Henson is staying as Head Coach until after the 2019 World Cup. Given the performances of the Chiefs, Hurricanes and Highianders in the Super Rugby 1/4 Finals, hopefully the pressure on him to return to NZ in the short-term i.e. before 2019, will reduce and uncertainty will disappear. Full focus now Joe.

Thought the issue was the coaches of 2 of those teams leaving anyway

Daily Mail says Joe re signing to 2019

But Mail has history of saying the Irish are scum so I dont know who to trust

Rob Kearney's comments today on Sean O'Rourke programme seem very optimistic Joe will remain as Irish Coach. Hard to credit some of the s#*t that pass as Comments on RTE News website.

JS has been in situ for three years with two 6N championships, defeat of SA in S Africa. Argentina have improved dramicatically in same period but won nothing. Irish players, if not all Irish Provincial teams have improved and Connacht as a Province have improved and seen their players awarded well deserved caps. Some serious Munster chips on shoulders about JS.

Hope he stays till Japan World Cup and that we will beat England and win another Championship before then. As players keep improving our National Depth gets better and competition for places gets tougher. As that happens our Provinces will allso improve.

Arent we way overdue an official announcement or are they saving that to promote the AIs?

I've heard that he's refusing to do a photo shoot with those S&M chains.

They would suit Andy Farrell better

hopefully he got his holliers in BEFORE contract this season, out of contract include Ryan, Toner, Earls, and Trimble on centrals, and lapsing provincial deals for Cronin, Ross, Strauss, Murphy, Henry

Real pity he didn't, as he and so many others wanted, punch Alaister Campbell in 2005.

Still time Paul, still time.
