Carlos Spencer added to Hurricanes 2019 coaching team

The Hurricanes have confirmed their coaching staff for the 2019 season.

Forwards coach Richard Watt and scrum coach Dan Cron have committed to the 2019 group alongside next head coach John Plumtree and assistant Jason Holland.

Joining the quarter will be former All Black Carlos Spencer who will take on the role as assistant coach.

He believed the work the coaching staff were doing at the moment would only be enhanced with Spencer's involvement.

"I've worked with Carlos in South Africa when I was at the Sharks and I was impressed with him from what I saw then," he said.

"He has carried on that good work, not only in South Africa but in Japan, and I really look forward to working with him again. Everyone that I've spoken to about Carlos and the way he operates has impressed me and he is really positive about joining the group and the club."
