Former Irish international and current RTÉ rugby analyst Conor O'Shea is expected to be unveiled as Harlequins' new director of rugby.

A report on the BBC website suggests O'Shea, who held a similar position with London Irish, will replace Dean Richards, who resigned in August following the fake blood scandal that has embroiled the club.

The Dubliner has been employed by the English Institute of Sport for the past 18 months, while he has also worked for the Rugby Football Union.
