Confirmed: David Nucifora to take up consultancy role with Scottish Rugby

Moving weekend in rugby as English RFU left reeling after Felix Jones' quit bombshell. 

TARTAN MOVE: Ex-IRFU Performance Director David Nucifora.

SCOTTISH Rugby has agreed a two year deal with ex IRFU performance director David Nucifora from November. The 62-year-old Australian will have a wide-ranging brief which will cover all aspects of the traditional Performance Director role, and ultimately help embed the next permanent SRU Performance Director before moving on at the end of his two-year contract.

Nucifora left his role as Performance Director at the IRFU less than a month ago, after just over 10 years in the job. Rugby Australia announced last December that Nucifora had been recruited to an advisory role, and he will still provide a small amount of consultancy support to that organisation alongside his responsibilities in Scotland.
