Brown is Highlanders coach
Print Edition
REIGNING Super Rugby champions Otago Highlanders yesterday named former New Zealand flyhalf Tony Brown as their coach for the 2017 season, replacing Japan-bound Jamie Joseph.
Joseph will leave the Highlanders at the end of the season to take over as the head coach of the Japan national team. The Highlanders said Brown will oversee the team on a one-year deal before heading to Japan himself to join the Brave Blossoms’ coaching set-up under Joseph. “I wasn’t sure the timing was right for me, but having spoken to people inside and outside the organization, I know now that this is too good an opportunity to pass up,” said current Highlanders assistant coach Brown. Highlanders chief executive Roger Clark said Brown’s 2017 appointment would give the Dunedin-based team time to look for a long-term coach.
