Eddie Jones confirms new additions to England coaching team ahead of Six Nations
By Ciarán Kennedy
Eddie Jones has begun the process of bringing England forward following their defeat in the Rugby World Cup final by announcing two additions to his coaching team.
Jones has brought in Simon Amor and Matt Proudfoot in a bid to freshen things up, while there is also a change of job title for Steve Borthwick.
Amor will join as England's new attack coach, while Proudfoot joins as forwards coach.
The addition of Proudfoot will see Borthwick switch from forwards coach to skills coach.
Amor will leave his role as England 7s coach to join Jones' set-up. A former 7s player, Amor led Great Britain to a silver medal at the 2016 Olympic Games.
Former Scotland prop Proudfoot was part of Rassie Erasmus' coaching team which steered the Springboks to the Webb Ellis Cup in November.
Jones lost both Scott Wisemantel and Neal Hatley from his coaching team following the Rugby World Cup, while former Bath and Saracens player Borthwick has been linked with a move to take up a coaching role with Leicester Tigers.

That is a matter of players style of play. Will Jordan's strength is his running . He has been absolutely deadly for the the Crusaders in that position. Especially in years 2021-23. Foster subsequently then Razor put him on the wing. Scored heaps of tries, but as he showed in one test against Australia this year , he scored a try running from the back, that was amazing. That was after Robertson finally put him at 15 because Beauden was injured. Thankfully there Will remained. Speaking of Beauden and kicking. He kicks too much, waywardly as well. Handing the ball back to the opposition. He is an impact player at best.
Go to commentsYet Ethan Blackadder was one of our best against the World Champion Springbok. When he came back to the Crusaders later in the season , he made a huge difference, ( a long with others like Codie Taylor), we nearly made the Play Off's. Ethan has plenty of rugby left in him. His family , Dad Todd Blackadder must be very [proud of him. Todd Blackadder was a 3 time champion captain of the Crusaders, '98, '99 and 2000.An icon in this area. Also twice captain of Canterbury , '97 and 2001 when we won the NPC and Ranfurly Shield winning captain in 2000.
