Kiss to take Ulster role after World Cup

Les Kiss will leave the Ireland set-up after Rugby World Cup 2015 to become Ulster’s full-time director of rugby.

Ulster and the IRFU announced Neil Doak as the province’s new head coach yesterday, while also revealing that Kiss will depart boss Joe Schmidt’s national coaching team after the 2015 tournament.

Former Australia rugby league star Kiss has held Ulster’s interim rugby director role this term following David Humphreys’ late-summer departure for Gloucester.
