Philippe Saint-Andre, former Gloucester player and coach has now moved up through the coaching ranks and is set to coach France, replacing previous boss Marc Lievremont.

Saint-Andre started his coaching career at Gloucester and went on to coach Bourgoin, Sale Sharks (who he won the Championship with) and he also appeared for France 69 times, 34 of those playing as captain.

He will officially take charge of the Six Nations runners up on December 1 and will leave his current job as Toulon director of Rugby. Saint-Andre will look forward to the world cup and will hope to see his new side lift the world cup trophy for the first time.
