An independent review of everything:

Head coach McMillan welcomes Munster's governance review

Munster head coach Clayton McMillan has welcomed the province's review into its governance and structures as the fallout from the Roger Randle saga continues.

An independent review into why a contracted head coach can't appoint his own coach because he doesn't meet the approval of social media and few hack journalists.
Can't wait!
Hopefully they recommend getting rid of the PGC, why do ex players have a right to dictate appointments. You're an ex-player, your contract is finished, move on

I completely missed Will Connors going to Connacht. If he stays fit that's a potentially great signing.

Penny and Deegan should be doing similar but they've both plateau'd.

From JOD:

"Agreeing the contract] was from early on, speaking to Clayton and he saw me as part of his plans," said O'Donoghue, who has won 237 provincial caps since making his debut in 2014.

"I wanted to be here. I love working with him and I see where he wants to take this group and that definitely inspired me to sign on and to stay.

"We have aspirations to win a trophy and I think he's the right man to do that.

"He's the right man to bring us to where we need to go.

"He's finding his feet this season in terms of learning about the URC, learning about a long season.

"He'd probably admit that himself. He's learned a lot dealing with two competitions but I think it's going to pay dividends going into next season."

Hopefully it's the first thing that's removed. Absolute nonsense. We all joked about jobs for the boys but that makes complete sense now and we didn't know how true it was.

You're dead right. Oversight by an independent committee is poor governance and should never be done, and the perception is nonsense and should always be ignored.

Yeah great, Jack. Maybe drive the fucking standards like a demon when Crowley and Beirne aren't there to hold your hand, every now and then?

Ah come on, they're just very supportive comments of the coach, from a player who is being picked regularly by the same coach...
