The
former Wigan Warriors head coach joined Scottish Rugby in June 2018 and has
worked across the organisation’s High Performance dept in supporting
preparations for Scotland teams from the national side through to the
Age-Grades, on a consultancy basis.

Wane
has also spent time with the FOSROC Scottish Rugby Academy players focussing on
skills, mindset and technique drawing on his extensive career in rugby league
which saw him win three Grand Finals, as both player and coach with Wigan.

Shaun
Wane said: “I’ve really enjoyed my time with Scottish Rugby and would like to
thank them for their understanding around this once in a lifetime opportunity
which has been presented to me, to coach England to a World Cup and Ashes
series.

“I have
been really impressed with Scottish Rugby’s high-performance set up and there
are clearly some talented and passionate people working hard to improve the
game at every level. I’ve learnt a lot and hope I’ve been able to pass on some
of my experiences in return. I would personally like to thank Mark Dodson for
all the help and support he has given me.”

Scottish
Rugby Technical Director Stephen Gemmell said: “I’d like to thank Shaun for his
contribution to our high-performance group. He brought a unique perspective and
insight to our team preparations from his experience in rugby league and we all
wish him well in his new role.”
