    Nathan Grey appointed Junior Wallabies Head Coach in 2021 as camp one squad is confirmed

    Former Wallaby Assistant Coach Nathan Grey has today been confirmed as the Junior Wallabies and National Academies Head Coach for 2021, and has named his opening camp squad in the process.

    Commencing the role in January, Grey has previously acted as a high-performance coaching advisor in 2020, while he was also part of the NSW Waratahs and Wallaby coaching team, serving as an assistant coach from 2013-2019.

    In this role, Grey worked with the Australian Men’s and Women’s Sevens programs as well as the Buildcorp Wallaroos, Junior Wallabies, State Under 19 Academies and the Australian Schools & Under 18s before the suspension of programs due to COVID-19.

    The Coaching team of Shannon Fraser, Nic Henderson and Ben Mowen round out a strong support team for Grey, after former head coach Jason Gilmore was appointed as assistant coach of the NSW Waratahs during the 2020 Super Rugby AU season.

    In his opening squad for 2021, Grey has named a wide selection of players from both Super Rugby programs and state academies, highlighting the depth of talent within the underage programs. The camp one squad features players from all Super Rugby academies, highlighting the growing depth of quality players in various programs across Australia.

    Junior Wallabies Head Coach Nathan Grey said: “I’m excited to step into the role full-time this year. I was fortunate enough to work in this space a little at the beginning of last year, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

    “We have some highly skilled and talented individuals coming through the ranks, and it’s about continually developing that talent as we help them along in their Rugby journey.”

    “As a squad and program, we have a world-class setup and a training program which has been proven on the World stage, and I’m excited to continue this work.

    “Camp one presents an opportunity for these guys to rise and shine amongst their immediate peer group and put their name up for selection,” Grey said.

    The Junior Wallabies are currently preparing for a hybrid of the Oceania U20s Championship, following World Rugby’s cancellation of the World Rugby U20s Championship later in the year.

    They will assemble on March 14 for a seven-day camp on the Gold Coast.

    Pfft

    this is the same guy that invented the Waratahs Defensive Structure known as "Hide Bernard Foley on one wing and Kurtley Beale on the Other" this structure was so successful it got transferred to the Wallabies Defensive Structure called "Hide Bernard Foley on one wing and Kurtley Beale on the Other" Clever names right?!

    some people just can't or maybe that should be shouldn't coach.

    maybe he should try the commentary team at Stan

    I'm just hoping the way boys get sent home early so he doesn't have a chance to make an impression on them.

    I'd hate to think he's doing to our academy the same things he's done to NSW rugby over several years.

    Regards the naming of wallabies defensive structure, I refuse to believe those games came from him....far too many words and syllables
