Rory Kockott joins Castres coaching staff

Rory Kockott will join the Castres coaching staff next season as defence coach in place of Joe Worsley.

After 11 seasons at the club and two titles in France, the scrum-half, French international, of South African origin will bring all his experience to the club.

"The passion I feel for the club and for the city goes far beyond that and I am very happy to be able to join the staff of Pierre-Henry Broncan for whom I have the greatest consideration and to whom I hope to bring my contribution to allow the club to remain at the highest level", I said Kockott.

The 36-year-old won 11 French international caps, including at the 2015 World Cup.
