| Former Saracen Andy Farrell |
England have today confirmed the permanent signing of Andy Farrell who will join their coaching set up to deal with the backs and defence. The former Saracens first team coach left in June shortly after England's tour departed to South Africa, with many speculating a return to the England coaching set up for the former Rugby League specialist.
Farrell has expressed his delight at signing the contract with the England team untill the 31 January 2016. Meanwhile Staurt Lancaster has said "I am delighted that we have got Andy on board. He is a special coach and an individual and the way this team has developed is a testament to the foundations that we laid in the Six Nations" Lancaster went on to mention reviews of the coaching set up before the Autmumn internationals. One would expect a decision on the future of former London Irish Coach Mike Catt, who may also be handed a full time role extending the coaching team to a 4 man set up.
Meanwhile Saracens, the newly named 'Club of the Year' have posted the story on their website but have not commented on the issue directly.
