Here's how Twitter reacted to the news that Declan Kidney would not have his contract renewed by the IRFU.
I have no hard feelings towards Declan Kidney and wish him all the best. Still, call was correct tho what happens next has to be done right.

The IRFU has decided not to renew Declan Kidney's contract. We now have three unemployed irish coaches - O'Sullivan, Bradley and Kidney

Best of luck to Declan Kidney a Grandslam and two Heinekens is some haul for any coach, right decision made by IRFU though.

Whatever about the way it petered out, Kidney's rein delivered the most unforgettable high and for that I will always be grateful

Best memory of Declan Kidney was his paying tribute to juvenile coaches as building the foundations of the Grand Slam.

Now, which of our 'reputable' papers is going to resist the urge to use a Kidney based pun in a headline tomorrow? #kidneytransplant

Shame to see Declan Kidney's tenure peter out like it has but it shouldn't be forgotten what he did for Irish Rugby. #IRFU

Sacking Kidney but leaving his coaching team to stay on isn't going to change much.

Kidney off to be UCC Director of Sport, I hear.

Interesting lack of sentiment around Kidney departure, but Grand Slam victory in Wales still first and only time I've seen press box hugs.

Nice little upgrade from "McKenzie odds being shortened" story to "Kidney gone" in my four o'clock bulletin.

I know very little about Ewen McKenzie, but I do like the idea of a prop coming in to coach Ireland.

Les Kiss as interim Ireland coach, Ewen McKenzie to take over. What odds on Djuro Sen completing the @ruggamatrix coaching dream team?
