Former Head Coach of the Vodafone Fijiana XVs Ioan Cunningham has joined Scotland women's backroom staff.


Cunningham takes up a new assistant role and will work closely with Sione Fukofuka, who was appointed head coach in December.


Speaking to BBC News, Cunningham says he is honoured and excited to work with Scottish Rugby, especially working with the Scotland senior women's team.


He says he has a personal connection to Scotland as his father is Scottish.

Other roles advertised included Assistant Coach for the Fiji Airways Men’s National 7s team, as well as Head Coach, Forwards Coach and Backs Coach for the Fiji Under-20.
