RASSIE ERASMUS – 15/1
The South African has previously declared an interest in the job. If the double Rugby World Cup-winner became available you have to think the RFU would ditch their preference to appoint Englishmen.
RONAN O’GARA – 12/1
The La Rochelle coach was seen as one of the front-runners to replace Eddie Jones when he was sacked in December.
O’Gara has previously said he would be interested in the job because of the calibre of players available, but when linked to the job he admitted it would be a ‘big leap’.
“There’s a lot to that, being the head man it’s very much your vision. Even two people who are very aligned sometimes don’t have the same vision.
“Then again, titles don’t really interest me too much and it’s just what role Scott would like to do, I would like to do and how you share responsibility.
ANDY FARRELL – 8/1
Currently, one of the coaches England would be most interested in having is Farrell, who is achieving impressive results and playing styles across the Irish Sea.
However, whether or not Farrell would want to return to the RFU, where he was previously the defence coach between 2011 and 2015 under Stuart Lancaster – who is currently working in Ireland with Leinster – and left under a cloud after England’s disappointing 2015 home World Cup, is another matter altogether.
