Rob Andrew accepts England Job

Rob Andrew will head a department, which includes all the England representative teams from the U18’s through to the Senior side, the National and Regional Academies, run in partnership with the Guinness Premiership clubs, Elite Referees and Sports Science and Medicine. All areas of the department are aimed at developing players for the international stage.

Lawrence Dallaglio believes Rob Andrew would be 'fantastic' as England's director of elite rugby.

England's World Cup-winning coach Clive Woodward was a candidate for the job but he has been overlooked in favour of the three-time Grand Slam winner.
