England lose two more key staff members

The Times has revealed that another two senior members of Eddie Jones’s management team have left their posts with the Rugby World Cup in Japan kicking off in just over a year.

The Times has reported that Dean Benton is to leave his post as head of sports science while psychologist Dan Abrahams has already left.

Benton was recruited in 2016 from NRL outfit the Melbourne Storm where he was director of performance and was involved with England set up for two years.

Jones is in the process of adding former All Blacks coach John Mitchell to his backroom staff as the side's defence coach to replace Paul Gustard.

Jones had Australian Scott Wisemantel working on the tour to South Africa in June as temporary cover due to the lack of an attack coach following the departure of Rory Teague last year.
