Kirwan waits as McGeechan makes decision on Wasps job

FORMER Italy coach John Kirwan will have to wait for Ian McGeechan to turn down the job as Wasps’ director of rugby before finding out if he will succeed Warren Gatland.

Kirwan left the Italy coach's job yesterday and Zurich Premiership outfit Wasps want to hear from McGeechan, who has also been linked with Bath, before deciding whether to offer Kirwan a way back into the game.

Kirwan parted company with Italy earlier yesterday after a poor run of form saw them finish bottom of the RBS 6 Nations table.
