Cron added to Wallabies Coaching staff
The Wallabies have pulled off a coaching coup with the addition of legendary All Blacks scrum doctor Mike Cron to Joe Schmidt's team.
The vastly experienced Cron was a New Zealand assistant coach for more than 200 Tests including the back to back 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cup wins.
The uncle of Western Force coach Simon, Cron has been working as a consultant for World Rugby in recent years.
He joins another forwards specialist, Laurie Fisher, on Schmidt's coaching ticket.
"Mike has added tremendous value in every program he has been involved with and brings a wealth of knowledge to our coaching group," Schmidt said.
The Wallabies also confirmed Chris Thomson would take the reins as team manager.
Thomson has been working as the ACT Brumbies general manager of professional rugby and pathways.
He has also spent time with the Fijian Drua and at World Rugby.
"Knowing Chris from his time at World Rugby, he will work extremely hard behind the scenes to make sure we are well organised from an off field perspective," Schmidt said.
