Shaun Edwards says England head coach Steve Borthwick rejected his offer to work with the team at the forthcoming World Cup.
Edwards, a decorated defence coach, said he had offered his services to England but that Borthwick decided not to accept the proposal. No further details about the offer or the reasons for its rejection were provided.
The comments concern England’s preparations for the upcoming World Cup, although the source material does not specify the tournament’s location, dates or the role Edwards had hoped to take on.
Borthwick remains responsible for England’s coaching arrangements as the team prepares for the competition. The latest known position is that Edwards will not be working with the side under the offer he described.
