Sir Clive Woodward has called for England to appoint Kevin Sinfield as the new defence coach. Eddie Jones was relieved of his duties as the national side’s coach on Tuesday, with Leicester Tigers' Steve Borthwick currently the favourite to replace him.
Sinfield, 42, who etched himself into Leeds folklore during his two-decade spell at Headingley, along with Borthwick put together a marvellous campaign at the Tigers who were crowned Premiership champions at the end of the 2022 season.
In his latest Daily Mail column, he suggests the current Tigers defence coach should be recruited by the national side along with Borthwick. “If it is Steve Borthwick who comes in then we’ve all got to get behind him and I wish him all the best,” he wrote.
