Australian Women's Sevens coach Tim Walsh will step aside following the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast after five seasons in charge of the all-conquering Women's side. Walsh led the Australian Women's side to the Gold Medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero and secured Australia's first-ever World Sevens Series title in the same year. The team currently leads this season’s HSBC World Series after a resounding round one tournament win in Dubai in December. The 38-year old will leave his post on April 30 to spend time with his growing family, wife Roza and their son Tiger. "When I got a call from David Nucifora (then High Performance Manager) six years ago offering me a Coaching Coordinator role for both Australian Rugby Sevens teams, I would never have imagined how this opportunity would transpire; an Olympic Gold medal, a World Series Championship, the growth of a new genre and era in women’s contact sport as well as lifelong friendships," Walsh sai
