Manic week, but in the quieter moments the mind occasionally drifts to life and its paths. 

I remember well all I ever wanted to do when I finished in a Munster dressing room in 2013 was coach Munster. All I wanted. The only thing in my head for two years. Then you get out and see things a bit differently. Your objectives change. Opportunities come, you don’t know where this is going.
