All three coaches will continue working with Scotland beyond the Rugby World Cup until at least April 2026 alongside Townsend.
Steve Tandy began as Scotland’s defence coach in 2020 and was part of the British and Irish Lions coaching team in 2021.
Former Glasgow Warriors Assistant Coach and Scotland Under-20s head coach John Dalziel has served Scotland as forwards coach for the last three years and joins scrum coach Pieter de Villiers in continuing their service with the national team.
During the Guinness Six Nations, former All Black assistant coach and Scarlets head coach Brad Mooar joined the Scotland coaching staff alongside Glasgow Warriors assistant coach Pete Horne. Both coaches assisted in attack and will continue their roles during the build-up to the Rugby World Cup and into the tournament itself.
Mental Skills Coach Aaron Walsh will also continue working with the team during the Rugby World Cup period.
Gregor Townsend said: “The news that Steve, John and Pieter have extended their contracts is a real boost. They are all key members of the coaching group and provide invaluable support to our players and myself.
“Since coming on board all three have made a hugely positive impact to not only their individual areas but also to our all-round game and the environment. I’d like to thank Scottish Rugby for their support in keeping this coaching group together for the next few years.
