He joined the London club in 2020 and was part of the coaching team when they won a league title a year later. Flannery said in a statement: “I have loved my time at Harlequins working alongside a talented young group of coaches and players. He has also coached Super Rugby side Otago Highlanders and previously played in South Africa for the Stormers and Sharks. “With the coaching team finalised, we can now focus on planning for the season and the next few years.”Former referee Jaco Peyper, who retired last month, will join the team management to assist with interpreting the laws of the game.
