🗣️ “I’ll answer, definitely...but we'll speak in December 2027," Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi has refused to rule himself out of taking over from Leo Cullen as Leinster head coach, describing Dublin and Ireland as his “second home”. Contepomi spent 10 seasons at Leinster, six as a player between 2003 and 2009 and four as a backs and attack coach between 2018 and 2022. He says he would answer if Leinster called, but stressed his current commitment to the Argentina set-up. 📺 Watch every Nations Championship game LIVE on Virgin Media Television | Starts November 6th #VMSport #NationsChampionship
