That's great new! A week isn't going to establish his system but it can set a lead the other coaches can follow.

Secretly hoping they will use this as a perfect time to announce a few new signings too

The 'several new signings ' bit at the end is encouraging anyway...

Any plans to take him down to Spanish arch for Buckie and a bag of cans to help him settle in?

nice article on KK from The42

I wonder if KK arrived in Ireland this morning would he be confused by fact that it is Winter in both Hemispheres?

Has KK landed in Galway yet?Desperate for some signing news.....

I'd imagine he has. I'm sure there was lots to get through before anything is announced but still would expect some sort of news this week.

I think he landed last week some time didn't he?

I would've thought they'd make some fuss over KK's arrival. Assuming he'll do some Connacht media and hopefully some new signings will be announced.

Considering he was involved with lions game on Wednesday I'd say if he's arrived it only the last 24 hours ! Strange they made the Johnny announcement on a Sunday - it's not the norm!

Actually, I thought he was coming for 2 weeks but it looks like I misremembered and it was 1. If it was 2 it would have made sense for him to leave shortly after the game last Tuesday to be here late last week and still get back in time for a week's worth of prep with the Chiefs before their next game on the 15th of July, but as it's one it probabky makes more sense for him to arrive this week.

He was definitely at the clubhouse yesterday.
Other than that, I dont know anything.
I would imagine he has a few admin things to do while he is here, such as look for a place to live.
I presume there will be some official interview up on the site this week at some point. Hopefully that will be after the announcements of any of any signings

it certainly has been quiet apart from the O'Connor news, i think we'll see a bit more news activity in the next week or so, they havent announced the academy players yet. I heard KK was here for 10 days.
