McFarland Given the Green Light to Join Ulster

The Irish Rugby Football Union and Scottish Rugby have come to an agreement to allow Forwards Coach Dan McFarland to join Ulster's coaching staff.

McFarland joined the Scotland coaching team from Glasgow Warriors in 2017 and was announced as Ulster head coach in April but was contractually obliged to remain in with Scotland for a nine-month notice period (ending in January), having originally signed a deal to the summer of 2019.

The parties have since reached a mutual agreement on terms to allow Dan to take up his new role immediately.

Danny Wilson has replaced McFarland in the Scotland set-up having steered Cardiff to Challenge Cup glory earlier this year.
