Rugby league great has been Borthwick’s No 2 since late 2022Sinfield to work with kickers having overseen defence
Kevin Sinfield is to step down as England defence coach after the summer tour to Japan and New Zealand. Sinfield has been Steve Borthwick’s No 2 since the start of his reign in December 2022 but his time at Twickenham will come to an end after 18 months. Before he moves on, the Leeds rugby league great will take charge of individual skills and work with the kickers having previously overseen the defence.
“Kevin after the World Cup had a period of reflection, like every member of the management team did,” Borthwick said. “Kev’s decided that longer-term he’s going to head in a different direction away from the England rugby team. He’s going to work with the team through the Six Nations and through the summer tour. ”
