The International Rugby Board has announced that Sir Graham Henry, New Zealand's rugby World Cup-winning coach, has joined the governing body's rugby committee.
Henry, widely renowned as one of the finest coaches of his generation and one of the most successful coaches of the professional era, coached the All Blacks
to five Tri-Nations titles as well as victory on home soil last year, and was named IRB coach of the year five times between 2004 and 2011.
The New Zealander accepted the invitation by the IRB Council and replaces another World Cup-winning winning coach in South Africa's Jake White on the committee, which is chaired by former New Zealand captain Graham Mourie.
White has stepped down owing to his Super Rugby coaching commitments.
Henry is already looking forward to making a contribution to the IRB Rugby Committee and playing his part in assisting the ongoing development and growth of the game around the world.
