I know him from his time with Ulster, he is a very astute man, he is a good man to have a conversation with about the game. “He has assembled a strong-looking squad – from watching their pre-season games – and any side that can beat Newcastle and narrowly lose to the Leicester Tigers in their first pre-season game deserves huge respect. “I’m lucky, I have a good coaching staff around me, I have a good manager to bounce stuff off and it is all about just making the right decision then.
