To be fair to the Daily Wail, their Rugby coverage *at least by Chris Foy* is often pretty good. However, here they're trying to make a piece without making clear a few things that paint the facts in a different light. At the moment there's a big standoff between PRL, the clubs, and Agents for players & coaches. That's stopping a lot of prelim work on both new signings and existing contract extensions.
I doubt we'd see NEv move back south either. He & his family have become British Citizens within the last year or two, and with three kids all in school here I would think he and his wife wouldn't want to disrupt their schooling. Bomb may attract the interest of Wales in the coming years. I wouldn't want to lose him but I'm sure he would love to coach his country. Likewise Flannery would love to be involved with Ireland but that will depend on Farrell Sr. He's got a good set of coaches for the Ireland squad now, would he want to shake it up?
