Alright, here's a fresh spin on the article about Munster's new coaching appointments!
Straight Talkin' Season Ahead for Munster!
Prepare for some jaw-dropping moves by Munster, as they've snagged none other than Alex Codling, the seasoned coach with an impressive international pedigree, to be their forwards coach come October 1st.
Since joining Munster in the eleventh hour last year, Codling has been juggling two roles: forwards coach consultant and forwards coach for the Ireland women's team. But with the Women's Rugby World Cup in England on the horizon, he's all set to board the Ireland team's bus, his eyes set on victory.
A quick glance at Codling's career shows a rich tapestry of coaching gigs. He's had stints with the senior England men's team, Harlequins, and even Oyonnax in France, to name a few. However, it was his time as head coach of the Newcastle Falcons that really put him on the map.
But wait, there's more! Munster's also raring to welcome Brad Mayo, the whiz kid behind the success of Super Rugby side, The Hurricanes, as their new head of athletic performance. A global traveller, Mayo's worked with the Brumbies, Bay of Plenty, the Chiefs, Glasgow Warriors, and more, making him the perfect catch for Munster's high-performance team.
"We're chuffed about Alex returning for the 2025/26 season," said Ian Costello, Munster's general manager, "And let me tell ya, Brad's gonna be a game-changer when he joins our ranks this summer." So there you have it, folks! Get ready for a season like never before with Munster Rugby. The ball's rollin', and it ain't stoppin' anytime soon!
