Leinster will retain Leo Cullen as head coach for the forthcoming season.

That is according to Gavin Cummiskey of the Irish Times.

The former Ireland and Leinster second row was appointed interim head coach in the wake of Matt O'Connor's departure and the province now look set to keep him on for the 2015/16 season.

Last year's Rugby Champions Cup semi-finalists will also appoint a new backs coach before their first game in this season's tournament in mid-November.

The rumoured name for that position is Tony Brown, one of the men behind the Otago Highlanders' recent Super Rugby success.

Rob Kearney recently spoke glowingly of Cullen's work so far in his interim capacity, telling the Irish Times:

Leo’s huge strength is that he’s a Leinster man through and through.

He understands what it took during those tough years to get us from a team of ‘nearlies’ to be a really good, achieving team in Europe. I think it’s brilliant.
