- Proudfoot leads forwards, Amor is in charge of attack
- Steve Borthwick shifts role to become skills coach
Ten weeks and three months after South Africa’s pack laid the foundation for World Cup victory over England, Eddie Jones has turned to the Springboks’ forwards coach Matt Proudfoot as he starts counting down to the 2023 tournament in France.
Proudfoot, a South Africa who won four caps as a prop for Scotland, will be responsible for all aspects of England’s forward play. The 47-year old has replaced Neal Hatley, who is part of Bath’s coaching team, while Steve Borthwick, who is expected to join Leicester after the Six Nations, is given a new role as forwards coach.
