Wales’ troubled men’s rugby team finally has a new coach, with Steve Tandy hired through the 2027 World Cup. The appointment was announced on Monday, with the Wales-born Tandy having just completed a southern hemisphere tour with Scotland as part of its coaching staff.

Wales appointed Steve Tandy as their head coach on Monday, with the former Scotland assistant facing a major rebuilding job after his new team's record-setting decline. Tandy is tasked with reviving Wales' fortunes in time for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia.

Steve Tandy has been named Wales men's head coach. The Scotland defence coach finished his commitments with Gregor Townsend's team during their summer tour and will link up with his native Wales on 1 September.
