The Rugby Football Union has been given a ‘hands off’ warning from appointing Rob Baxter as the next England boss.
Eddie Jones, who will leave following the 2023 Rugby World Cup, took charge in 2015 and was the first ever foreign coach to lead the men in white.
Despite the Aussies success, which includes two Six Nations titles and finishing runners up in the 2019 World Cup, the RFU have already revealed they want their next coach to be English.
“Rob won’t leave. He is committed to Exeter,” Rowe told the Mail Online.
“He may be on somebody’s shortlist at Twickenham but I would hazard a very strong guess that his answer would be he’s happy where he is.”
“If you look back over the 12 years we’ve been in the Premiership, we haven’t had a change of coach,
“We’re very happy with each other. From my point of view, I’m very happy with the coaching set-up. We’ve rebranded and the coaches are rebuilding our team.”
Below, we look at the five favourites to replace Eddie Jones according to the bookies.
