Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
Interesting 15 minutes by Andy Goode from the rugby pod. Lays into Eddie Jones, Bill Sweeney in fact the whole RFU hierarchy. Apparently there has been a review put in place but those carrying it out have asked to be kept anonymous for fear of retribution.
Goodey said he spoke to Healey on Sunday who told him Jones would be sacked this week. Now either he knows something or it’s Austin being Austin.

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
I am not sure why but I have this feeling that Jones will be gone by the end of next week. Just something about the press releases and comments on social media that make me think that the RFU are actually going to act. I think that the constant churn of back room staff who clearly do not want to work with Jones is very telling.
Who comes in is more difficult. Mid season I do not think that they will presuade someone out of a position at a European club. My honest opinion, I think it is a race between the RFU and the WRFU as to who gets their sacking done first and appoints Gatland until the end of the world cup with a process to find a full time replacement taken after. You could see an approach for Robertson but I think that an interim coach for the world cup would be the target.

If they go now it surely means they're getting Robinson.
Can't see them having an "interim" solution in place for a world cup...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
Maybe it will not be described as 'interim' but I can see someone like Gatland getting a one year contract then being part of a process to fnd a long term replacement post world cup. His Lions experience does give him some background in preparing a team under a tight timeframe.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:14 am If they go now it surely means they're getting Robinson.

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
Is there really an appetite for Gatland for the England job? For Wales yes I could see him coming in a doing a job short term but I can't see the fit for England, he would be more compelling if he still had Shaun Edwards working with him but that obviously is not the case anymore.GB72 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:28 amMaybe it will not be described as 'interim' but I can see someone like Gatland getting a one year contract then being part of a process to fnd a long term replacement post world cup.

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
Sadly, if the decision is made that Jones is not the one to take us to the world cup (and I do not think that he is) the the choices may be limited as I suspect that european coaches are not going to be as keen to move mid season. There may not be an apetite for Gatland but he does seem a reasonable option to put in place a team that can challenge at the next world cup at short notice.wigworth wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:37 amIs there really an appetite for Gatland for the England job?

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
I was at Robonson's last match in charge at Twickenham v South Africa (think it was the last time I went). The performance was as abject as the one at the weekend and resulted in the same booing from the crowd. Actually the mood was very much like it is now and makes me think even more that Jones will not be in the post at Xmas.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:46 am https://twitter.com/PlanetRugby/status/ ... 5ZfxQ&s=19

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
Is there a single English supporter who would shed a tear if Jones was sacked today ?

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)
Depends on who took over.....it could be worse...
Of the 2 coaches in peril Jones & Pivac, it's far easier to feel sorry for Pivac.
To win is not as important as playing with style!
