Led by acting Chairman Al Baxter, the Waratahs Rugby Board has started the process of appointing a new head coach, appointing a rugby sub-committee to oversee the process.
“Whilst we welcome and value the views of our stakeholders including NSWRU, the Waratahs Rugby players and staff, ultimately the Board will make the decision, based on the recommendations of the rugby sub-committee,” said Baxter, who is also part of the sub-committee.
Baxter added that no timeframe will be put on the appointment. “Our priority is the long term interests of our members and fans and in ensuring that we appoint the most suitably qualified candidate for the role.”
Until a new head coach is appointed, the Board has installed Alan Gaffney as interim coach to run the rugby program. To protect their confidentiality, the details of potential candidates will not be released.
