Wisemantel is a Level 3 Coach who not only has the Australian side on his resume, but had a very successful stint with England alongside Eddie Jones, as well as coaching appointments with Samoa, Japan, Montpellier, the NSW Waratahs and the Australia U/19's.

Hedger is no stranger to Maurie Ryan Oval and the Gold Rats, having played and coached at the club previously and is a well respected member of the Ex-Rats.

Hedger is also a Level 3 Coach and recently won a Shute Shield title as head coach of Sydney University. He has also has coaching stints at Bond University, the Melbourne Rebels, the Australian U/19 side and the Kinetsu Liners in the Japanese competition.
