Fisher in unfamiliar waters

He has the most recognisable hairstyle in Irish rugby since Shane Byrne retired. Charlie Mulqueen spoke to Munster forwards coach Laurie Fisher.

The first impression was all about the hair, and no wonder. The Munster squad were expecting an Australian coach; they just weren’t expecting one who hadn’t had sat in a barber’s chair for over three decades.

The players met him last July and now Canberra native Laurie Fisher is viewed as one of their own. They got used to the hairstyle along the way.
