Eddie Jones appoints Richard Hill as Team Manager

Eddie Jones has appointed former international Richard Hill as England Rugby Team Manager.

The 2003 World Cup winner will take up the new position at England’s training camp in Brighton on 2^nd – 4^th October as the team begins its preparation for the Wealth Series.  

“Richard is an icon of English rugby and I am very pleased he has agreed to join the England management team. His vast international experience and in-depth knowledge of the RFU player pathway means he’s a great fit for this role in the England set-up," commented Jones on the appointment.

“It is important we use the knowledge of former international players and keep an historical link with the past. I am in no doubt that Richard will excel in his role and I look forward to working with him again as we continue our preparation for the Old Mutual Wealth Series later this year.

“Richard’s responsibilities will range from maintaining England Rugby’s internal and external relationships to providing mentoring and support for players and management."

Since retiring through injury in 2008, Hill has worked for Saracens and the RFU.
