John Mulvihill has been named as Danny Wilson’s replacement by Cardiff Blues.
Cardiff Blues have appointed John Mulvihill as their new head coach from the 2018-19 season.
Mulvihill will take over from Danny Wilson, who is to leave his role at the end of the current campaign to become forwards coach at Wasps.
The Australian, an assistant with second-tier Japanese club Honda Heat, has signed a three-year deal with Cardiff.
