Information: Edinburgh Rugby unveiled former Worcester Warriors assistant coach, Billy McGinty, as the club’s new defence coach in June 2011.

The Glasgow-born, rugby league convert has over seven years experience as a defence coach in the English Premiership, most recently in a six-year spell with the Warriors.

As a player, the former Wigan star represented GB four times, won two Challenge Cups, two Regal Trophies, Premiership and league championships, as well as two World Club Championships during the Lancashire side’s domination of the late 1980s and 1990s.

As a coach he has enjoyed spells as assistant coach with Wigan and Huddersfield Giants, and as head coach of the Scotland rugby league team from 2001-2003.

He then joined the list of successful coaching converts to rugby union with a move to Sale Sharks in 2003 before joining the Warriors after their promotion to the Premiership in 2004.
