Nick Evans, former New Zealand international and coach for the Harlequins, will join the England senior men’s coaching staff as the attack coach for the upcoming Guinness Six Nations tournament.
Evans made his debut for the All Blacks in 2004 and played for Super Rugby teams the Highlanders and the Blues.
He joined the Harlequins in 2008 and played for the team 208 times, winning the European Challenge Cup in 2011 and the Premiership in 2012.
After retiring from playing in 2017, he became the attack coach for the Harlequins and helped the team win the Premiership again in 2021.
England head coach Steve Borthwick said, “Nick brings with him a wealth of different experiences as a player and coach, which will be incredibly valuable to the growth of our team.”
The tournament begins next month and England’s first game will be against Scotland at Twickenham Stadium on February 4th.
