Pat Lam’s coaching shake-up continues with long-standing attack and backs coach Conor McPhillips departing at the end of the season having been by the Bristol Bears Director of Rugby’s side since he first arrived at Ashton Gate six years ago.
McPhillips is the second major coaching exit following the news that forwards coach John Muldoon will be leaving at the end of the 2022/23 campaign to join hometown club Connacht. There’s been no announcement on McPhillips’ next destination.
The 42-year-old Irishman joined the Bears from Connacht having worked his way up through the coaching ranks at the Irish province and during his time in the West Country he’s also worked with the Barbarians set-up.
