Brad Thorn will reportedly take over as Queensland Reds coach after the Super Rugby side sacked Nick Stiles.

Stiles' future has been uncertain after coaching the Brisbane-based side to just four wins in 2017.

Former All Black and rugby league star Thorn will take over ahead of next season, according to multiple reports, and is set to be the 2011 Super Rugby champions' second-straight rookie coach.
