Terenure College RFC have announced legendary former New Zealand out-half Carlos Spencer as their new head coach.

The Dublin club, who won the All-Ireland League in 2023, have appointed the 44-cap All Black on a three-year deal starting ahead of next season.

"Carlos was the outstanding candidate following our recruitment process," said the Division 1A club.

"We believe this is an ambitious and exciting appointment for our club, the All-Ireland League and Irish rugby."

Spencer (above) said: "Terenure [is] a club with a proud history, passionate supporters and a strong sense of community.

"I feel very lucky and honored to now be a part of that".

The 49-year-old played most of his career with the Auckland Blues, while he also had spells with Northampton and Gloucester in England.

He worked as an assistant in Super Rugby with the Lions, Sharks and Hurricanes.

Spencer coached the Blues women's team to the 2025 Super Rugby Aupiki title last month.
