Kingsley Jones to help Eddie Jones coach Barbarians

Canada’s Senior Men’s Head Coach Kingsley Jones will act as an Assistant Coach for the Barbarians in their Killik Cup match against a World XV. The invitational side will be led by Eddie Jones, with the match to take place at Twickenham in London on May 28.

It’s not the first time Kingsley has been involved with the Barbarians. The former Wales flanker played for them twice in 2000, against Ireland and Leicester Tigers. He was then involved as a coach alongside Philippe Saint-André in 2010.

The World XV will be coached by Steve Hansen, who won two World Cups with New Zealand in 2011 and 2015. Eddie Jones was recently appointed as Head Coach of Australia after being replaced as England coach by Steve Borthwick.
