Newcastle Falcons are pleased to announce that Rob Andrew has agreed to coach the Falcons Legends team at their huge game against Southern Hemisphere XV on 2nd October.
Andrew, who spent four years as joint player/Director of Rugby with the Falcons at the dawn of the professional era and eleven years in total with the club, was capped 71 times for England and made five appearances for the British and Irish Lions.

The Falcons Legends will face a Southern Hemisphere XV including players such as Samoa’s Mike Umaga, Kiwi-born Henry Paul and former Springboks Thinius Delport, Stefan Terblache and Andre Snyman in a game held to celebrate the arrival of Rugby World Cup 2015 into the city.
