Super Rugby winner Joseph to coach Japan
SUPER Rugby-winning coach Jamie Joseph will take over Japan’s national team later this year after overseeing the Otago Highlanders’ title defense, the Dunedin-based club said yesterday.
New Zealander Joseph, who steered the Highlanders to a maiden Super title last year, replaces Australian Eddie Jones, who left the Brave Blossoms after the World Cup to coach England. The 46-year-old represented both the All Blacks and Japan during his playing career, packing down in the forward line for the Blossoms at the 1999 World Cup. Joseph will stay with the Highlanders until the end of the Super Rugby season before taking the reins in Japan, which will host the World Cup in 2019.
