RFU's Review Into England's Failure To Receive Input From Former Coaches, Players

The Rugby Football Union will welcome "independent recommendations from outside staff at Twickenham as part of the review of England’s failed World Cup campaign," which could include former coaches such as Clive Woodward and past int'l players having an input, according to Gavin Mairs of the London TELEGRAPH. The format of the review "is likely to be formalised later this week," with RFU CEO Ian Ritchie "to run it himself or as chair of a panel that could include an independent member," with the recommendations to be delivered to the governing body's board on Nov. 17. The RFU is keen "to ensure there is no perception or reality of insularity in the decision-making process that could determine whether Stuart Lancaster remains as head coach." There will be "no formal role for feedback from the Premiership clubs and the Rugby Players’ Association as there was in the 2011 report but again they are likely to be fully consulted." Jason Leonard, England’s World Cup-winning prop who is now president of the union, "is also likely to have a major input" as well as Andrew and the governing body’s Chair Bill Beaumont (TELEGRAPH, 10/13).
