- Forwards coach Cockerill insists he can work with scrum coach
- Cockerill calls Ellis Genge ‘a world-class player’
Eddie Jones’s first squad of the season gathered on Sunday, an intriguing 45-strong mix of experienced internationals and new faces hoping to make an instant impact on England’s head coach.
Arguably the most interesting of Jones’s new men are in his revamped coaching staff: Martin Gleeson, the attack coach, Anthony Seibold, the defence coach, and Richard Cockerill, a forwards coach. The Australian Seibold is not at the Lensbury club in south-west London in person but the former England hooker Cockerill is already three weeks into the job and itching to help prepare for autumn internationals against Tonga, Australia and South Africa.
