Ex-England coach Rory Teague takes charge at Bordeaux-Begles

Former England skills coach Rory Teague has been named head coach of Bordeaux-Begles after Jacques Brunel stepped down to take charge of France.

Teague, 32, was previously backs coach at Bordeaux and as a player he plied his trade in Pro D2 teams Limoges, Tarbes, Aurillac and Grenoble between 2007-11.

In England, Teague made his name as backs coach of England U20s before becoming skills coach of the senior team under Eddie Jones.

Teague's first game in charge is Saturday's home clash with Lyon, live on Sky Sports Arena from 1.40pm.
