Nathan Hines to follow Vern Cotter to Montpellier, Alex King also joining

Vern Cotter and Nathan Hines have worked together with Scotland for two years

Nathan Hines will follow Vern Cotter to Montpellier when the Scotland head coach returns to France next year.

Former Clermont boss Cotter will hand over Scotland duties to Glasgow Warriors' Gregor Townsend in June.

Hines, capped 77 times by Scotland, has been part of Cotter's coaching team with Scotland and previously played for the New Zealander at Top 14 Clermont.

He will be forwards coach while ex-England fly-half Alex King will join Montpellier as backs coach.
