SAINTS new Head Coach Kristian Woolf will be making his way to St Helens this week with a real spring in his step after he made history on the international stage.
He guided the Tonga Invitational XIII to an historic 16-12 victory over world champions Australia on Saturday - a week after doing the same to the Great Britain side.
Woolf, who arrives in England late next week, masterminded one of the biggest shocks in international rugby league.
In Woolf's five years as coach of Tonga, he has improved the nation’s world ranking from 14th to 4th and created a real buzz in the island nation.
Huge congratulations to our new Head Coach Kristian Woolf whose Tonga side have made history by beating world champions Australia! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/SPahlMigOb
