O’Shea would welcome RFU role

Harlequins director of rugby Conor O’Shea has revealed he would be “delighted” to be part of the panel that helps select the new England head coach.

O’Shea and Ian McGeechan have been linked with a role as Premiership Rugby representatives on the five-man committee charged with suggesting Martin Johnson’s permanent successor.

The panel will be chaired by the Rugby Football Union’s new chief executive Ian Ritchie.
