Steve Borthwick has agreed to join Eddie Jones’ coaching staff. The former England captain will join the national set‑up as forwards coach for England.
He will be reunited with Jones having worked together for three years at Japan, culminating in the 2015 Rugby World Cup campaign.
He also worked with Jones at Saracens, where the Australian signed him as a player from Bath. The 36‑year‑old former England international and captain had a brief coaching spell with English Championship side Bristol following the conclusion of the tournament this year.
England head coach Eddie Jones says he was "delighted" with the appointment.
Borthwick had an impressive playing career as a lock for both club and country representing England on 57 occasions between 2001 and 2010.
He captained the side under Martin Johnson from 2008 and was a member of the England squad which reached the Rugby World Cup Final against South Africa in 2007.
