England scrum coach Richard Cockerill to move after Six Nations to Montpellier role
RICHARD COCKERILL WILL step down as England’s scrum coach to take charge of Montpellier’s forwards once the Guinness Six Nations has been completed, severing the last remaining tie to Eddie Jones’ management team.
The former Leicester and Edinburgh boss was retained by Steve Borthwick but his duties were reduced from being in overall charge of the pack to overseeing the revival of the worst performing scrum of any tier one nation in 2022. “It has been an honour to not only play for my country, but to also get the chance to coach England,” Cockerill said.“This opportunity presented itself some time ago and it was too hard to turn down, personally and professionally.
“I will continue to be fully focused on England and this Six Nations campaign, working with this group of players as they begin a new journey together.”Nations Analysis Get Murray Kinsella’s exclusive analysis of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign this springEngland face an uphill struggle over the coming weeks after falling to a third-successive Calcutta Cup defeat by Scotland on Saturday, with Borthwick stating that the team he inherited from Jones “weren’t good at anything”.
