ENGLAND have appointed Nick Evans as their attack coach as new boss Steve Borthwick finalises his management team for the upcoming Six Nations.

Evans, the Harlequins assistant coach and former New Zealand fly-half, will fill a role that has been undertaken since August 2021 by Martin Gleeson, who now faces an uncertain future.

A player for Quins from 2008 until 2017 when he moved into a tracksuit role, Evans has helped shape one of the most effective attacks in the Premiership and has also been responsible for mentoring Marcus Smith.
