Ed Robinson and Alex Codling will join the coaching team for the three summer matches.

Robinson, who is assistant coach at Jersey Reds, was part of the England set up for the 2021 Guinness Six Nations. He will provide coaching support in attack.

Codling, who has previously coached with the England men’s U20s, as well as Harlequins and Ealing Trailfinders, will work with the forwards, focusing on lineouts.

England play two Test matches at Twickenham Stadium, against USA (Sunday 4 July) and Canada (Saturday 10 July). An England A side will also play Scotland A at Mattioli Woods Welford Road in Leicester on Sunday 27 June.

"We’re very pleased to have Alex and Ed join us this summer," said England head coach Eddie Jones.

"They will provide hands-on skills coaching in attack and lineout fundamentals to a young and developing squad."

Codling, who has also played for England, said: "I am very excited about the prospect of working with Eddie, coaches, support staff and the players and can’t wait to get started.

"I had immense pride in playing for my country, so to get a chance to coach with England has been a lifelong ambition, as it would be for any coach. I have worked with some of the players directly and those that I haven’t, I have watched closely in games and know what they can bring to the team."

Codling will probably leave before his short tenure is up, and as for the attack coach announcement its hardly great considering his impact in the 6 nations. Still, for the sake of USA/Canada it probably could be done by Paul Chuckle

And will the passing drills be 'from me, to you'?

Sorry couldn't resist.

I’m almost certain that’s the extent of Youngs Ford and Farrell.

Also, standing on the touch line saying “oh dear…. Oh dear oh dear” is pretty much the norm now anyway

Well that's the cost of England programmes going up then. Extra pages now needed to list all Codling's clubs.

Delighted for Alex Codling-was behind our good start to the season when Gustard first joined us. And after he left half way through the season our results tanked. Gustard did not like him as he was a better coach.

Wasn't our lineout pretty mediocre with him here? Genuine question, my memory is that he was a disappointment and that things are much, much better with Flannery.

There was so much more to him leaving us. I’m not too sure how he’s built the reputation to be good enough to be involved in England.

Our whole forwards play is as good as its been really with Flannery and Jones, and if both here next season its already a stable set piece to hopefully look forward to.

He should fit in well with Eddie’s constant rotation of coaches, then.
