English rugby shake-up continues as RFU fire coach

DAVE REDDIN — the fitness guru who played a key role in England’s 2003 World Cup success — has followed head coach Andy Robinson out of Twickenham.

Barely a week after Robinson departed on the back of eight defeats in nine Tests, Reddin was made redundant with immediate effect from his post as RFU head of fitness and nutrition.

In less than eight months, Reddin, Robinson, ex-defence coach Phil Larder, former backs coach Joe Lydon and kicking expert Dave Alred have all left their posts.
