Eddie: Reds job is pinnacle

Eddie O’Sullivan believes the position of Munster coach is one of the marquee roles in world rugby.

The former Ireland and USA coach announced his intention to apply for the role last week, which Tony McGahan is vacating at the end of the season to return to Australia, and wants to be given a chance to lead the province to further glory.

“The Munster job is a big job in terms of rugby, it’s one of the marquee names of European rugby, having built up a huge tradition in the Heineken Cup having won it twice,” he said.
