Codling will undertake a dual role, with the 51-year-old also fulfilling his responsibilities with the Ireland Women ahead of the 2025 Guinness Women’s Six Nations which begins in March.

Codling joined the Ireland set-up at the beginning of this season and worked with the squad during their successful WXV1 campaign.

Throughout his coaching career, he has worked with several teams throughout Europe, including Harlequins, England, and Oyonnax.

Before coming on board with Ireland, he was head coach of Gallagher Premiership outfit Newcastle Falcons.
