Richard Wigglesworth has been promoted to the role of senior assistant coach for the England rugby team under head coach Steve Borthwick, as the team prepares for the Autumn Nations Series. Wigglesworth, a former England scrum-half, will now have increased responsibilities, working on England's overall game plan and attacking strategy, while also supporting Borthwick in day-to-day leadership. His promotion is part of a series of changes in the coaching staff, with Joe El-Abd joining as the new defense coach and Felix Jones continuing in a remote analysis role after his resignation. Kevin Sinfield remains in a part-time capacity overseeing skills and kicking, amidst a broader reshuffle following the departures of Aled Walters and Jones. Borthwick praised Wigglesworth's deep tactical understanding and emotional commitment to English rugby, emphasizing the collaborative coaching environment being fostered. England's upcoming fixtures include matches against New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, and Japan.
