Ireland forwards coach Paul O'Connell: “I certainly hope I'll have an impact in the line-out, but a big part of the line-out is experience, to be able to see pictures and have the feel of what is going to happen before it happens, you need to be there a lot. You need to see it.

"I have a familiarity with the system. I'd like to think I can offer value there and that takes a bit of pressure off Simon (Easterby) obviously as well.

“Some of these guys I’ve known for a long time, some of these guys are good friends of mine.

"But I just have to be honest with them, straight up with them and positively constructive with them and that should maintain the relationship."
