Well, Phil Davies resigned last month so the throne is vacant.

Solomons must be a candidate for results and fan alienation.

Now you're both just being silly. There are several threads on here already dedicated to the fact that MOC is not only this season's worst coach but the worst coach to ever coach rugby anywhere, anytime :wink:

Ahem, sorry.

MOC is also too old. He should be moved aside for a younger version of Joe. His age is holding us back.

He's too short too. How are we meant to compete at line-outs with him coaching?

His big problem is that his name is too Irish! We never won a Hcup with a coach with an Irish sounding surname!

Townsend by a mile. He has taken a fairly average team to probably the best team in the league this season and definitely playing the best rugby. If he had the playing resources of someone like Leinster or Ulster they'd walk the league imo.

My main problem is with Glasgow not being able to produce on a European stage however.

Glasgow had made the play offs in two of the three seasons prior to Townsend joining. He has done a good job there but certainly not done anything spectacular there especially when he has been provided with guys like Strauss and Maitland. They're in great form currently and seem to have an Ospreys like ability to upset the Irish sides.

They've been brutal in Europe, though, and have gone backwards during his time there in the HEC.

I think being put beside the Edinburgh coach du jour makes him look a lot better too.
