"Hockey guy" - Eddie Jones confirms unexpected coaching appointment
Rugby NewsMonday, 17 October 2022 at 20:54
England head coach Eddie Jones has confirmed that Danny Kerry MBE has joined the England staff as training coordinator.
Kerry previously spent 17 years at Great Britain Hockey, where he was the most successful coach in their history – including leading Team GB’s women’s field hockey to a gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Joe Lewis will move to a full-time senior analyst role, working closely with forwards coaches Richard Cockerill and Matt Proudfoot.
Jones said: "I’ve known Danny for a long time and his depth and breadth of coaching knowledge will be a real asset to us as staff as we work towards becoming the best coaching team in the world.
"Joe will move back to an analyst role where he has a real impact and suits his strengths and skills.”

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
