Munster forwards coach Jerry Flannery has launched a stinging attack on Alan Quinlan, his former teammate with Ireland and the province, accusing Quinlan of delivering ill-informed media punditry. Quinlan, who works for Sky Sports and Newstalk as a rugby analyst, was highly critical of Munster’s performance in the PRO14 victory over Zebre, leaving his old pal fuming. Speaking on Sportsjoe.ie podcast The Hard Yards, Flannery insisted having played for Munster doesn’t give Quinlan any insight into what is currently going on with the province. Flannery said: "People will watch it and say, 'Well Alan Quinlan must know what's going on at Munster because he played for them', but Alan Quinlan has absolutely no idea what's going on at Munster. I don't know whether he had done any preparation for it.
