"While embracing the magnitude of responsibility, I'm under no illusion to the task at hand and what it will take," said Kirchner.

"This is an opportunity to serve and hopefully show each of these men the quality they all hold to becoming the best version of themselves.

"A word of appreciation for the belief and trust shown. To the masses throughout the broader rugby communities near and far, thanks for the well wishes, words of encouragement and continuous support."
