Leinster sever Knox ties

Tuesday 13th May 2008

Leinster have swiftly announced their disassociation with former Assistant Coach David Knox following his recent comments on the state of Irish Rugby.

Australian Knox parted company with the Magners League province and after leaving the title winners, he spoke out on the national appointment of Declan Kidney along with slamming Munster and Ireland fly-half Ronan O'Gara.

Subsequently Leinster have acted to separate themselves from their former employee and his parting words.

"Leinster Rugby wishes to clarify that David Knox is no longer an employee of Leinster Rugby," read a press release.

"His recent comments in the media are in no way a reflection of the view of our organisation and we strongly dissociate ourselves from the views and thoughts of this recent ex-employee."

"None of his thoughts are representative of the province and are completely independent of those held by either the playing squad or management."
