Kidney tightlipped as big names ‘not interested’ in Irish job

DECLAN KIDNEY was tightlipped at Musgrave Park on Saturday when questioned about his interest in the vacant Irish rugby coaching job.

A familiar, slight smile was momentarily visible before he simply responded that: “I have a game against Connacht on Friday and that will be my full focus. My focus tonight was on Ulster. My job is to get Munster up to the best of their ability and that’s what I’ll do again for Friday.”

Asked again whether he was available or not for the Irish job, he walked on without as much as a “no comment.”
