Former Scotland forwards Allan Jacobsen and Scott MacLeod have been confirmed as part of the Hawick RFC coaching set-up for next season. 

Ex-Scotland prop Jacobsen is Edinburgh's record appearance holder, having played 273 times for the capital club. He also won 65 caps in a decade-long international career. 

He will work as the Greens' scrum coach, while his ex-Edinburgh and Scotland team-mate Scott MacLeod will work as the club's forwards coach. 

Graham Hogg, the brother of former Scotland captain Stuart, has been confirmed as head coach. 

Hogg assumed temporary charge of the team when Matty Douglas stood down towards the end of last season, having been informed his contract would not be renewed for the 2024/25 season. 

A short statement posted on Hawick's social media channels on Thursday evening confirmed the new-look coaching set-up. 

It described the team as "an excellent coaching team who will work well together and compliment each other, to manage and look after our talented Greens squad."
