Eddie Jones on the verge of England job
Eddie Jones is set to become England's first foreign head coach, after talks with Rugby Football Union chief executive Ian Ritchie.
The Australian, 55, was in London on Thursday to finalise the details of his appointment, which could be confirmed by the end of the week.
Former Australia and Japan coach Jones needs to first secure his release from South African franchise the Stormers.
A Stormers source said Jones had signed a "long-term contract" in Cape Town.
It is understood Bristol are prepared for an approach from the RFU for forwards coach Steve Borthwick, who worked with Jones at Saracens and Japan.
Jones was only appointed as the new Stormers head coach in September after leading Japan to the World Cup in England, during which they recorded a famous win over the Springboks.
