Meet the Coaches. 2026/2027

Wed 15 Jul 2026 16:10

🙋‍♀️ Meet the Coaches.

Behind every session, every game and every bit of progress is a team of people giving their time, knowledge and experience to help our players grow.

For 2026 | 2027, we’re delighted to welcome a blend of familiar faces, returning faces and new additions to our senior coaching team.

Leading the group are Director of Rugby Rob Chivers, alongside Tom Huggins and Adam Blackford, with Stefan Shillingford returning to Heathbrook to lead player development and strength and conditioning.

Joining the coaching team this season are Ollie Taylor, who brings more than 20 years of coaching experience across club, academy and pathway rugby, Danny Hawkins, who steps into coaching after more than 25 years representing the Blue and Blue, and George Wallin, whose playing and coaching experience spans both England and Canada.

Different journeys. Different experiences. One coaching team.

The countdown is on.
