Campbell salutes O’Sullivan’s ‘dignity’

FORMER Irish out-half Ollie Campbell yesterday praised the timing of Eddie O’Sullivan’s resignation announcement and predicted that Declan Kidney would be the next head Irish coach.

Campbell said O’Sullivan had bowed out of the Irish job with “fantastic dignity” in difficult circumstances.

“He got out at the right time, didn’t cause embarrassment for himself or anyone else and I think in time he will be remembered for being at the helm of some of the best years of Irish rugby history,” said the former Irish and Lions No 10.
