Academy can deliver, says coach Mick O’Driscoll

Munster A coach Mick O’Driscoll insists that there is huge potential in the province’s academy system.

As the soul searching continues after the embarrassing European exit to Saracens on Saturday, O’Driscoll stressed that a new generation of stars can step up to senior ranks — but only if given time.

And like senior coach Anthony Foley, O’Driscoll emphasised that money is not at the root of Munster’s current woes.
