Anscombe, who's currently the side's assistant coach under Dave Rennie, will take over the head coaching role, with Rennie stepping down after three seasons with the under-20s.
Anscombe has been with the team for all three Junior World Championship wins, as a development coach for the first campaign in 2008, before moving into the assistant coach position.
