Crusaders coach Scott Robertson is being talked up as the next coach of England's national side, as pressure mounts on incumbent Australian Eddie Jones.

With one game to play in the Six Nations, England can finish no higher than fifth place in Europe's premier international competition.

English rugby reporter Ben Coles threw Robertson's name forward as the ideal man to restore the struggling side.

He says Robertson has nothing left to prove in New Zealand and the All Blacks would be mad not to appoint him in 2023, because if it doesn't happen then, someone else certainly will hire him.

Robertson was overlooked for the All Blacks coaching role in 2019, with former assistant Ian Foster the preferred candidate to take over from Sir Steve Hansen.

Robertson's current deal with the Crusaders and New Zealand Rugby expires at the end of this year.

In the Super Rugby Aotearoa, the Hurricanes will face the Highlanders at 6.05 tonight. In the Super Rugby Australia, the Brumbies will take on Western Force at 8.45 tonight.
