Major changes coming

The coaching overhaul at Leinster continues

Leinster have another vacancy on their coaching staff after scrum expert Marco Caputo informed the province he would be leaving with immediate effect.

Former Wallaby hooker Caputo was brought to the province by head coach Matt O’Connor last summer to succeed Greg Feek after the New Zealander joined the Ireland national side in a full-time capacity.

But with O’Connor departing Leinster last month following a disappointing season, Caputo has followed his compatriot out the door at the RDS, leaving another vacancy for the next head coach to fill once he is appointed.

Caputo said: “Over the last few weeks, I took the time to seek out the opinions and thoughts of various people both inside and outside the Leinster Rugby environment about my future. I believe that my decision will give the new coaching and management staff the best chance of a fresh start for the new season.”
