Ex-England international Scarborough lands new role as head coach
By Ian Cameron
Harrogate Rugby Club have confirmed that former England international Dan Scarborough is taking over the role of head coach at the club, succeeding Sam Fox.
After a two-season term, Fox bids adieu to coaching duties while embarking on new coaching endeavours with Pocklington School and the Yorkshire Academy.
The club have expressed both gratitude for Fox's service and eagerness for his continued involvement as a player for the upcoming 2023/2024 season, where he'll be aiming to achieve the milestone of 100 caps.
Now Scarborough, a seasoned figure in the rugby world, takes over at the reins at the club.
With an illustrious career that saw him don the jerseys of Leeds Tykes, Racing 92, Saracens, and the England national team, Scarborough brings a wealth of experience and an insider's perspective on the game.
He retired in 2013, having won two caps for England.

After a fairly simple Pac4, the BFs will find out a lot about themselves in September when they face the rampaging RedRoses at Twickenham in front of a record crowd. After that they will face them again in Canada in WXV1. They also have France to contend with. Will be interesting to see what Australia have to offer with Jo Yapp at the helm.
Go to commentsSuper Rugby Pacific has been better as a spectacle due to the emphasis on speeding the game up and I’d look at taking things a step further. Instead of giving teams 90 seconds to take a conversion, let’s bring that down 60 seconds. You could also look at allowing 45 seconds for a penalty goal. Maybe teams could get 20 seconds instead of 30 to form a scrum before the ref then starts the engagement process. However, this year the most pleasing change is the added competitiveness in the Trans Tasman matches. What does frustrate me is how the rugby media in Australasia allow the the whole ‘‘rugby is boring’’/’’rugby yawnion’’ narrative to take hold from from vindictive league types, the chairman of the ARL commission and News Limited Australia. Stick up for the game and shift the narrative!
