"I don’t think there’s a need to review anything, to be honest. It is a player-driven thing," said Toner at an Energia event where the company announced their new sponsorship of both the men’s and women’s All-Ireland league. "The people that have been involved know that it’s not what they do, and it’s not what we do. There have been apologies and they’re two isolated incidents, and that very rarely happens."The perpetrator of the incident with the academy player was invited along to a club event the following day and was even brought on stage but Toner said that those matters are out of his control.
"It could have been handled a bit differently but, again, I'm not in the position to be doing that as well."With regards to matters on the pitch, Ireland gathered in Carton House last week for the first of many pre-World Cup mini-camps and Toner has said that the squad have wasted no time in getting back on the pitch after a disappointing Six Nations campaign.
"It's everything. We're doing conditioning and running, doing a bit of D, tackling and everything," added Toner. "I was talking to Simon (Easterby) on Monday and said 'when are we doing line-outs?' 'Tomorrow'! Usually you get a week or two before you get into rugby stuff. But obviously we want to get everything in."
