Regrouping

SCOTT JOHNSON, the garrulous Aussie who has taken over the Welsh reins from the harshly treated Mike Ruddock, insists he isn’t concerned about his future as Welsh coach.

For the moment at least, it’s a temporary appointment and he claims his intention is to return home at the end of the Six Nations and to put family issues first.

Compare that with the situation in which Ireland’s Eddie O’Sullivan finds himself.
