Peter Jackson: ‘Quiet Man’ Mark McCall putting down marker for Irish coaches

Not for the first time, the ‘unbelievable’ Mark McCall stands out on his own in Europe this morning which makes a change from being out on his ear in Ireland.

The Ulsterman, who has good reason to know how it feels to be a prophet without honour in his own land, will finish the European season doing what no Irish coach has done before.

All he has to do is turn up at Murrayfield on May 13 for his third Champions’ Cup final in a row.
