Bath Set To Unveil Super Rugby Coaching Duo

Aviva Premiership side Bath look set to announce their coaching team for the forthcoming season, with Todd Blackadder and his assistant from the Crusaders, Tabai Matson set to be revealed.

The experienced Super Rugby duo will reportedly take on the roles of director of rugby and head coach respectively. The pair are set to confirm their move in the coming days after their Super Rugby side, the Canterbury based Crusaders, were defeated in the quarter-finals this weekend against the Johannesburg based Lions.

Bath have been searching for a new coaching set-up since the sacking of Mike Ford at the end of last season after a bitterly disappointing campaign that saw them finish ninth in the Premiership standings and suffer being knocked out of the Champions Cup at the group stage.
