Good interview with Johann, really excited and feeling far more positive following last season's miserable experience. #COYB 🔵⚫⚪

I don't mean to burst your bubble mate. Really I don't. But don't raise your expectations just yet. We here at Munster Rugby had him for a few seasons and didn't win a dime with him and he left without a whole lot of appreciation I'm afraid. I'm not saying he'll flop at your team, far from it, but don't get your hopes up too much unless results start flowing in.

@@conorcahill5422 Then why did you offer him a contract extension after five years if he was so crap? Leinster is just phenomenal and he/munster was always compared to them and then judged a failure.

[@conorcahill5422]

@@2MileMen Hi Jacques. I'm just as curious to know the answer to that question myself as much as you do Possibly the level of expectation was lower in the management than the supporters. We had endured years of frustration finishing close but not close enough, but they seemed to smdeem that as acceptable for some reason.

Enjoy a season of box kicking

Likeable guy but he was at Munster for 5 years and he did absolutely nothing with a better squad than the current Bath squad. He actually brought them backwards. Hopefully it works out for him but Bath need a very good coach to get them back up. Van Graan isn’t the man to bring them back up.

[@davewalsh8278]

He will turn ye into the blue bulls without the size and power to back up the gameplan.

Hope I'm wrong for Bath supporters, but JVG is not up to it. Did absolutely nothing with Munster for 5 years, why would you hire him?!??
