 Dwyer has coached the side before |
Former Australia coach Bob Dwyer has agreed to take charge of the Barbarians on their three-match tour next month. Dwyer, who resigned as NSW Waratahs coach in May 2003, will coach the invitational side for their games against Scotland, Wales and England.
"I am delighted to be invited again and be able to accept," said Dwyer, who coached the side between 1999 and 2001.
"It is an exciting and satisfying role working with elite players from different places."
