McClennan to coach Exiles again

12:56 pm on 23 March 2013

The former New Zealand and Warriors head coach Brian McClennan will coach the British-based Exiles for the International Origin rugby league fixture with England in June.

McClennan who coached Leeds Rhinos to Grand Final success in 2008 and 2009, led the Exiles to victory in the inaugural fixture in 2011.

England will use the Exiles clash as preparation for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup which takes place in October.

The Exiles is a team made up of British based foreign players.

McClennan was sacked as Warriors coach last year.

England play the Exiles at Warrington's Halliwell-Jones Stadium on June 14th.
