Rees leaves Dragons

David Rees has left his position as assistant coach of the Newport Gwent Dragons to join the Hong Kong Rugby Football Union as national head coach.

The 44-year-old, who will oversee all Hong Kong’s national squads, leaves the Dragons after four years having previously coached Wales’ Under-19, Under-20, and Under-21 sides and the senior sevens team.

Rees said: “I am looking forward immensely to working with all the players, coaches and clubs in the Hong Kong RFU to enhance and build on the current developments and structures.”
