Sir Clive Woodward says English rugby needs a director of rugby to ensure the next men’s head coach is not selected by RFU chief Bill Sweeney, whose “knowledge of rugby is really small”.
Woodward was head coach when England won the World Cup in 2003 and, speaking on Lawrence Dallaglio’s Evening Standard Rugby Podcast, says he spoke to the RFU about taking the role again in 2011, when Stuart Lancaster was appointed in what he called a “ridiculous” process.
