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.

Think it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
