But what about all Englands recent success, and Irelands also, both national UNION teams have had several ex LEAGUE coaches for many years now. I could even put a post in the 'met anyone famous' thread as Mick Ford the ex Wakefield Trinity and GB LEAGUE player and currently the Ireland RFU's defensive coach is a long time customer of mine.
And I believe that the practice of using LEAGUE coaches to improve UNION play was an Aussie idea in the first place.
