Possible England Backs Coach for SA

It's been reported that ex Wasps and England fly half and current Clermont attack coach Alex King is soon to be contacted by the RFU on a temp role for the summer tour to SA with a view to taking him on full time after that.

Personally I think that could be a great move, King was so instramental to Wasps and was one of the key reasons for their collapse when he left. Clermont demonstrated agaisnt Saracens their attacking threat and are still currently top of the T14 as well.

Def worth a look.

Also the Daily Mail report that Smith is almost def going to be the Eng backs coach after his term at the Chiefs is up.

Well...ill wait and see. The Telegraph seem to have stories every day...

IF he was to be chosen temp wise for the summer tour then i would say it shows two things.

A) They are looking at young English Coaches...which is a joy.

B) They are looking at brining in new younger coaches instead of recognised senior guys who will maybe have new fresh ideas...

Like i say though...i still wait until an official announcement about ANY of the coaches....
