Josh Ives had this to say when we asked him how he plans on adapting to working with one of the oldest Premiership teams, after his previous involvement with one of the newest clubs:

“Hurricanes is a club I’m very familiar with having played there for 3 seasons. I’ve seen the club make huge strides on and off the field over the last 5 years. I’m incredibly excited to have this opportunity to join back with the rugby club. As for adapting to an older club, rugby’s rugby at the end of the day, whether you play in Alaska or in the jungle of Ipoh – It’s the sport we love and it’s the same wherever. What excites me most is the talent of players they have across all squads, that will only push me to be a better coach and to top it off, a coaching team of Pewts and Pat, both incredibly talented coaches with an amazing vision that I’ve completely bought in to.”

Ives will begin his new post at the Dubai Sevens based club, during summer pre season months of 2021.
