Irish rugby community shocked by death of Tom Tierney; John Ryan hits ground running with the Chiefs; Record £250k paid for a rugby jersey
A young playing group is a rare luxury for a country that has often had to bolster its playing stocks with veteran campaigners from all corners of the rugby world seeking a final pay-day and an international cap for the mantlepiece.
Employed by the IRFU since 2014, Tierney held coaching roles with Ireland U19 and U20 men’s teams, Ireland Women’s Sevens and Ireland Women’s 15s for three years where his honours included a 2015 Women’s Six Nations Championship. He also led the Ireland Women’s team during the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup which was held in Ireland.
The Cork native returned to Munster for a successful three-month contract back home that earned him a move to Waikato Chiefs in New Zealand for the Super Rugby Pacific season.
