McKenzie in Munster running

NEW SOUTH Wales coach Ewen McKenzie is poised to turn down the top coach job at cash-rich French club Stade Francais and is looking to pursue his career in Ireland.

With Munster CEO Garrett Fitzgerald already on the record saying there has been interest in the head coach’s job at the Irish province from abroad, McKenzie is now believed to be in the running for the position.

However, McKenzie will have to compete against Munster defence/backs Tony McGahan and connacht director of rugby Michael Bradley, for the Munster position.
