Cullen predicts bright future for O’Sullivan at Biarritz

Leinster skipper Leo Cullen yesterday expressed surprise it has taken so long for Eddie O’Sullivan to find a top coaching job following his departure from Ireland in 2008 and his tenure with USA three years ago.

With O’Sullivan bound for Biarritz, Cullen suggested the side from France’s south-west had made an inspired choice to carry them forward after their recent demotion from the Top 14.

“I only heard the news this morning, Eddie is a very, very, good coach and I’m incredibly surprised he hasn’t been picked up by a team earlier than this, although obviously he had that (recent) stint with Garryowen,” said Cullen.
