Brown to take Sunwolves reins

– Former All Black Tony Brown has been named as the new coach of Japan’s Sunwolves, replacing national boss Jamie Joseph who relinquished his dual role to focus on Japan ahead of next year’s World Cup on home soil.

Brown, the former coach of the Highlanders, has been working as his fellow Kiwi’s assistant and he said he hoped to guide the wooden spoonists into a position to trouble Super Rugby’s top teams. –
