However, he says, if the right thing is to have a freshen-up and have a few new faces, then that’s a really positive thing.
Wilkins came into the Connacht set-up as assistant coach in the 2017-18 season under Kieran Keane and continued in that role after Friend’s arrival the following season. Now in his sixth year, Wilkins is currently the head coach with responsibility for attack, and was included in Andy Farrell’s coaching ticket for the summer tour to New Zealand.
“I know they’re genuine and wanting to get it sorted soon. There haven’t been any interviews yet, but I have had a conversation with them. When that comes it’ll be for me to get an understanding of what they’re thinking, what do they want from the next head coach, or whatever label we put on that position.
Wilkins says it may be a cliche, but two-way conversation is needed “in terms of saying what’s the right step for the club and also for me. So I definitely want to have that conversation with the club.”“I think it’s natural. They [players] want to know who is leading the programme. So that has to be part of the conversation with them now.
