Garryowen coach calls on IRFU to make ‘hard decisions’

TOP coach Paul Cunningham has called on the IRFU to make decisions to secure the future of club rugby in Ireland.

Cunningham will be in the Garryowen dug-out for the AIB All-Ireland League final at Musgrave Park tomorrow against Cork Constitution and he is convinced that the only party that can rescue club rugby is the Union itself.

As a former player, and now an amateur coach putting back a lot of what he got out of the game, Cunningham believes the club scene needs to be seriously re-structured as soon as possible.
