Sydney - The Reds have brought former Wallabies coach John Connolly on board as a consultant for the remainder of the Super Rugby season after they slumped to a ninth defeat in 11 matches on Friday.
Richard Graham will remain as coach despite a second successive season of failure with the 2011 Super Rugby champions, which was underlined by the humiliating eight-try, 58-17 loss to the Crusaders on Friday.
"The last two seasons' results have been very disappointing for the team and for all of our fans. It is also simply unacceptable to the organisation," Queensland Rugby Chief Executive Jim Carmichael said in a news release.
