Think this is good to see, the other provinces do more GAA cross over than us, and I think a mutual benficial relationship could develop.

I've be saying for years that Antrim and Ulster could help each other, they both share the same facilities in Jordanstown, but I never heard of any skills coaching cross over. Even Wasps have seen the benefit of using a GAA coach, hope this can lead to a better working relationship.

Also Bryan Cullen (Dublin All-Ireland winning captain this year) has taken up the role of coaching Leinster Rugby's academy players, as an example of things going the other way.

Wil Earls, Murray, Cronin, Bowe and Kearney to name but a few that played GAA to a high standard when younger you have to respect that a bit of cross over in coaching can be beneficial.

Anyone know if the GAA coach at Wasps had any benefit to them under the high ball etc?
