The younger players and his colleagues in the HPC enjoyed working closely with Tom each day as he brought a great energy and unique personality to his role, always ensuring the future of Munster Rugby was in safe hands. A great servant to Munster and Irish Rugby he will be dearly missed. Tierney stepped down from his role with the women's team after a disappointing 2017 World Cup campaign, but remained with the IRFU and worked with the Irish men's Under-20 and U-19 teams.

The Limerick man played for Richmond, Garryowen, Munster, Leicester Tigers, Galwegians, Connacht and Ireland and coached the Ireland women's team.

Former Ireland and Munster player Frankie Sheahan paid tribute to his teammate: "I am truly devastated to hear the news today of my great friend and teammate Tom Tierney. A former Munster player, Tom is our National Talent Coach & previously coached Ireland Women, @GarryowenFC & @CorkConRugbyFC. Thinking of his wife Mary, daughters Isabel and Julia and wider family & friends."

“He also amassed an impressive CV as a coach and we were honoured to have him as a colleague in the IRFU from 2014 to present. Ireland won the 2015 Six Nations under his guidance, but they failed to qualify from their pool at their home World Cup and Tierney moved on.
