Former allies scrap it out as O’Sullivan takes a right Hook

FORMER Ireland rugby coach Eddie O’Sullivan yesterday shrugged off claims from former coaching ally George Hook he “has a problem with relationships”.

The decorated duo worked together at the US Eagles and Connacht, but have rarely seen eye-to-eye since Hook’s move into broadcasting, and the TV and radio pundit pulled no punches with some of the accusations he levelled at O’Sullivan.

Stung by revelations in O’Sullivan’s recently-published book, Never Die Wondering, Hook invited O’Sullivan to defend his claims on his Newstalk drivetime show, The Right Hook, in front of a live studio audience at the University of Limerick.
