[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1032124, member: 34990"] That's an optimistic way of looking at it, I guess :P He was meant to be mentoring coaches into taking over from him after his contract was up - he then got offered another contract. Bit of a chicken and egg situation re: his successors, at that point - did they leave for club rugby because they knew the England job was off the table, or was EJ's contract extended because they left? Moot point, anyway, as I don't think Gustard or Borthwick would've been much cop in the head role with England. Teague is, I think, out of a job atm - was only at Bordeaux for a season before joining Gloucester, then got sacked there last summer. Gustard became a head coach then was sacked, now back doing defence coaching Wisemantel not an English coach (same with Smith and Ella) Hatley and Borthwick both look to have progressed in their time with England/Japan & England, though, and performing well in club rugby atm [/QUOTE]
