The 34-year-old, who has won 77 caps and played in the past two World Cups, has struggled with ankle and toe problems with Northampton this season. He joined Wasps in 2002 and spent seven years with the club before moving to Stade Francais, the Ricoh Black Rams in Japan and Super Rugby's Highlanders.

The region have created the role for Ryan, who joins from the Rugby Football Union where he has been working as head of international player development. Ryan had been expected to be announced as head coach and his new role means interim head coach Ceri Jones reverts to his previous job as forwards coach.

Vunipola was forced off after half an hour of last Saturday's Heineken Champions Cup final win over Leinster.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,781 User: 12,915	Israel Folau's contract has been terminated by Rugby Australia after he said "hell awaits" gay people in a social media post. The full-back, 30, was sacked in April but requested a hearing, which was heard by a three-person panel. The panel found him guilty of a "high level breach" of RA's player code of conduct and upheld the dismissal. Folau, who had a RA deal until 2022, has 72 hours to appeal against the ruling and is considering his options.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,781 User: 12,915	A major sponsor is to voice concerns to rugby club London Irish over the signing of former Ulster and Ireland fly-half Paddy Jackson. Diageo, which owns Guinness and is the team's main sponsor, said his signing was "not consistent with our values". Jackson was found not guilty of rape last year, but had his contract revoked by the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU). London Irish confirmed they are in "ongoing dialogue" with sponsors.
