Gareth Baber (born 23 May 1972) is a Welsh former rugby footballer and now a rugby union coach. He is the current coach of the Hong Kong national rugby sevens team.[1]
During his playing career Baber earned a Blue for Oxford University's rugby team. He also featured at scrum-half for Pontypridd RFC, and featured prominently in Pontypridd's European Shield victory over London Irish in 2001 where he appeared on the Wing.
Baber was assistant coach with the Wales National Under 20 team. Baber was also academy skills coach at Welsh regional side Cardiff Blues.[2] In July 2011 Baber and Justin Burnell were appointed Head Coaches of the Cardiff Blues following the resignation of Dai Young.[3]
Since November 2013, Baber has been head of Hong Kong men's rugby sevens and directs the senior men's, women's and youth programmes at elite level.[1]
