Foley ready to take Munster reins, reckons Quinlan

Former Ireland and Munster flanker Alan Quinlan believes Anthony Foley has the credentials to be given a shot at the provincial coaching job.

Speaking in Kinsale last night to launch the Heineken Kinsale Sevens, Quinlan spoke about the ongoing selection process to find a successor to TonyMcGahan, who leaves for Australia at the end of the season.

“There were a number of candidates interviewed and it’s no secret that Anthony is one of those brought into the next level; from what I’m hearing it’s probably going to be him, with the word being there’s a possibility of Tana Umaga (New Zealand) coming in on the ticket too. I would imagine Anthony will be made head coach with somebody else as his assistant and I suppose that could also be somebody other than Umaga, I don’t know.
