Ireland rugby legend Donnacha O’Callaghan has been added to Davy Fitzgerald’s backroom team with the Waterford hurlers.
The ex-Munster lock will work as a performance coach.
O’Callaghan joins a backroom staff that includes former Tipp hurler Eoin Kelly, ex-Deise star Peter Queally, and S-and-C coach John Matthews.
Fitzgerald says he’s looking forward to rectifying Waterford’s shortcomings from last season.
"Last years performance they won't be happy with it, they were miles off.
"The last two championship games, they were miles off.
"I've got to get in and figure out maybe why that was and I'm sure Liam will be looking at it himself why they were so far off at the end of it.
"That's something we have to look at and try to make sure it doesn't happen again."
