Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Leinster vs La Rochelle

ROGs next move has to be Munster. The interpros would be tasty. He has too much cop on for that. If he wants the Ireland job, he’ll have to try a job in Ireland at some point. ROG makes good career moves. Munster is not a good career move. They don't have the players with which he can do anything.
