Former Edinburgh head coach Rob Moffat is to take up a new role with the Scottish Rugby Union.

Moffat, who stood down as Edinburgh head coach on January 31 in the wake of a disappointing Heineken Cup campaign, will become a specialist skills coach along with his responsibilities as a technical adviser to Scotland under-20 sides.

Moffat's appointment follows the earlier resignation of Stevie Scott who left to join Sale Sharks. His position will be on an interim basis, pending the outcomes from the review of Scottish Rugby's Performance Rugby Department.

Scottish Director of Performance Rugby Graham Lowe said: "We are delighted that Rob will be working on honing the skills of our most promising young talent both within Scotland and among our Exiles. He will work alongside our national under-20 management and will play a crucial role both before and during the IRB Junior World Championship in Italy this June in which Scotland under-20 are in a pool alongside South Africa, England and Ireland."

Rob Moffat said: "I'm looking forward to working with Scotland under-20 coach Peter Wright and his management team as well as providing additional coaching experience to these quality players. I'll be doing everything I can to help them to improve."
