“BRETT WILKINSON named as BUCCANEERS Head Coach <\/p>\n
BUCCANEERS have announced the appointment of BRETT WILKINSON as Head Coach as the midlanders prepare for the forthcoming Ulster Bank League season. Recently retired from professional rugby, Wilkinson played in Connacht\u2019s front row on 183 occasions and was also capped by Ireland A, for whom he made 6 appearances. Thus he will bring a wealth of forwards experience to his new role in which he will be joined by fellow South African and current Connacht centre DANIE POOLMAN who is tasked with coaching the Pirates backline. TOMMY CONLON returns as First Team Manager and the club has appointed JUDE LENNON as Director of Rugby as Buccs bid to recover their swagger. With Wilkinson at the helm, the Pirates will be expected to play with a \u2018cutting edge\u2019, \u2018put teams to the sword\u2019 and have no \u2018close shaves\u2019 this season!” Buccaneers RFC Press Release<\/p>\n
A firm favourite with Connacht supporters and a vastly experienced player taking the step into top flight club rugby at a club with a distinguished history, we at Intouch Rugby look forward very much to supporting and promoting Buccaneers RFC and we have no doubt that the players and supporters will rise to the challenge of every millisecond of every game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
