Les Kiss has emerged as a contender to become Edinburgh’s new head coach. The Australian is without a job after the demise of London Irish earlier this month.

Mike Blair announced his intention to step down as head coach of the Scottish club in February, and with the season now over, has signed a deal with Dave Rennie’s Kobe Steelers as attack specialist.

Former Sale Sharks director of rugby Steve Diamond joined Edinburgh on a senior consultancy basis in March, and agreed to oversee the team’s pre-season training while a new supremo is recruited.

Kiss, 58, was an Australian rugby league international and made his name in union as a defensive coaching visionary after switching codes in 2001.

He worked with the Springboks and New South Wales Waratahs before helping Declan Kidney’s Ireland to a first Six Nations Grand Slam in 61 years during 2009. He also contributed to Six Nations titles in 2014 and 2015 under Joe Schmidt.

Kiss’ success with the national team earned him the director of rugby position with Ulster, initially on an interim basis in June 2014, his three-and-a-half-year stint featuring a Pro12 semi-final in 2016.

He reunited with Kidney at London Irish in 2018 and spent the past five years as head coach of the Premiership side, which boasted an illustrious roster of international players and home-grown talent.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
