O’Shea set to take over as Quins director of rugby

CONOR O’SHEA is expected to be named as Harlequins’ new director of rugby.

The 39-year-old, formerly a director of rugby with London Irish who has also worked for England’s Rugby Football Union, is something of a surprise choice.

He has been out of the sport for the past 18 months, working for the English Institute of Sport.
