Japan's decorated coach Eddie Jones will take over the role as head coach of the Stormers at the start of the 2016 Super Rugby season.
Jones, who previously coached Australia and was an assistant to the 2007 World Cup-winning Springbok squad, stole the headlines in the opening round of the World Cup when his Japanese team outsmarted South Africa to record an historic 34-32 win in Brighton at the weekend.
He will take over the Stormers coaching reins from Allister Coetzee, who moved to Japan after the Stormers' SA Conference-winning 2015 Super Rugby campaign.
"Our Director of Rugby, Gert Smal, always promised that he would deliver the best and in Eddie Jones I am more than satisfied that we have appointed the best coach to take over the reins of the Stormers," said WPRFU President, Thelo Wakefield.
