Former Kiwis rugby league coach Frank Endacott will take the reins of Mate Ma'a Tonga in the upcoming tests against Great Britain and Australia.
The announcement comes after the sudden and bitter sacking of Kristian Woolf, who had been at the helm for the past five years.
Endacott only agreed to come on board yesterday and told Vinnie Wylie it all happened very quickly.
