Middleton keen to help Japan move up a notch
The Rugby Paper
|July 09, 2023
SIMON Middleton has taken on a new role as high-performance adviser to the Japan national women’s 15s team.
-
Named World Rugby coach of the year in 2021, Middleton won five Grand Slams and six women’s Six Nations titles in his seven-year reign as the Red Roses head coach.
The most recent title came three months ago in front of a record-breaking crowd of 58,498 as fans packed into Twickenham to witness history in the making and a thrilling 38-33 win over France.
Now Middleton is relishing his next challenge and is excited by the “massive potential” of Sakura 15s.
“There were a couple of full-time positions that were appealing but not what I was looking for, I didn’t want to get back into full-time coaching – certainly not as a head coach. The other option was consultancy work, dropping into high-performance programmes and trying to help them along,” Middleton said.
