“The IRB is delighted that Nick Mallett has accepted the IRB Council’s invitation to join the rugby committee,” said IRB rugby committee chairperson John Jeffrey.

“Having a broad experience across a range of club and national teams, Nick has considerable experience of the modern Test and domestic game environment and will give the committee a valuable insight into important issues facing the coaching of the game.”

Mallett, a former Springbok eighthman, coached the South African and Italian national teams after retiring as a player, and guided club side Stade Francais to two successive French domestic titles in 2003 and 2004.
