Andrew demoted as RFU eye new coach

ENGLAND will name a permanent head coach in time for next year’s summer tour to South Africa, with an interim appointment overseeing the RBS 6 Nations.

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) met yesterday to discuss and approve the recommendations made by the Professional Game Board’s review into England’s World Cup fiasco.

An overhaul of the RFU’s structure effectively sees Rob Andrew demoted, with his new position of professional rugby director stripping him of any involvement with the senior team.
