Borthwick New England Rugby Coach

Former Leicester coach succeeds sacked Eddie Jones.

 

Steve Borthwick has been appointed as England head coach on a five-year contract.

Borthwick, 43, masterminded Leicester's Gallagher Premiership title triumph last season, and he succeeds Eddie Jones in English rugby's top job.

Jones was sacked almost two weeks ago after presiding over England's worst year of results since 2008, managing only five wins from 12 games.

The Rugby Football Union also announced that Leicester assistant coach Kevin Sinfield will join Borthwick as defence coach at Twickenham
