MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former Australia coach Dave Rennie has been appointed head coach of Kobe Steelers and will take over from the 2023-24 season, the Japanese rugby club said on Friday.

New Zealander Rennie was sacked by Rugby Australia in January after managing a winning record of only 38% since taking over the Wallabies in 2020.
