Stephen Meehan, whose coaching journey has taken him from his native Australia to France, England and Japan, has been named head coach of the Toronto Arrows.
He succeeds fellow Australian Peter Smith, who left in July after the lone Canadian entry in the Major League Rugby finished 12th and last at 1-13-2 after an injury-riddled season.
Most recently, Meehan was director of rugby of Australia's GPS Rugby Club, where he started as a youth coach in 1995. In 2002, he moved to France to serve as assistant coach under Nick Mallett and later Fabien Galthie at Stade Francais. He joined England's Bath as backs coach in 2006 before returning to Australia as the Western Force's attack coach for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
