Tony Brown has taken over the Sunwolves coaching reins until the end of the season from Jamie Joseph, who has returned to New Zealand for a back operation.

Brown is also assistant to Joseph with Japan as attack coach. The Sunwolves complete their campaign with games against the Bulls, Waratahs and Reds.

“Although it was a very difficult decision to be unable to accompany the last three games of the season, it is necessary to make the best choice to achieve the goal of Japanese rugby,” Joseph said.

“I’m confident the Sunwolves will continue to evolve under the talented coach Tony Brown and support staff. I want to see their evolution tightly until the end of the 2018 season.”
