Leeds Rhinos legend Kevin Sinfield has been endorsed for a role with England's rugby union side by the country's World Cup-winning coach, Sir Clive Woodward. The national side are on the lookout for a new coach after Eddie Jones had his contract terminated by the Rugby Football Union on Tuesday.
That man is expected to be current Leicester Tigers coach Steve Borthwick, who has been long earmarked as a future national team coach. But Woodward believes the logical step would be for Borthwick to bring his Tigers coaching staff with him into the England setup.
That includes Sinfield, who is currently defence coach of the Premiership side.
