Shaun Edwards links up with Cardiff Blues

Cardiff Blues are delighted to confirm Shaun Edwards has joined the region on a consultancy basis.

 
The Wales defence coach has already begun working with Danny Wilson’s squad and will lead defensive sessions on a part-time basis while also taking on a mentoring role.

 
Edwards will work alongside Richard Hodges and mentor the likes of Gethin Jenkins and other key defensive leaders at the Blues.

 
Edwards, the most decorated player in rugby league history, has enjoyed an illustrious career both on and off the pitch.

 
After moving into coaching with Wasps he won the English Premiership on four occasions and every major trophy as a head coach.

 
Four of his six years at Wasps were alongside Warren Gatland and the duo linked up again with Wales in 2008. Edwards has since been integral to three RBS Six Nations titles, including two Grand Slams.
