Connacht CEO Highly Critical Of Mike McCarthy’s Switch To Leinster
Only days after arguably Connacht’s biggest win in club history, the IRFU has this morning confirmed that their totemic backrow force Mick McCarthy will be taking that two-and-a-half-hour drive up the N6 next summer and joining Leinster. CEO Tom Sears was scathing in his statement confirming the move.
Connacht CEO Tom Sears: “We are bitterly disappointed to lose Mike McCarthy, who has been a popular senior member of our squad…”

“..We have been aware of Leinster’s interest in Mike for some time. It is disappointing they have persistently targeted Connacht players..”

“…in recent years, particularly when often not in the best interest of Irish Rugby.”

“…While disappointed, we respect the individual player’s decision and wish Mike every success in his future playing career…”
