Former Great Britain Hockey coach Danny Kerry has joined the England staff as training coordinator, the RFU have revealed.

Kerry – who was bestowed with an MBE in 2017 for his exploits in hockey – is someone Jones has known for a “long-time” and will be hoping will ramp up England’s coaching efficiencies.

Kerry previously spent 17 years at Great Britain Hockey, where he was the most successful coach in their history. He led Team GB’s women’s field hockey to a gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Meanwhile, England Rugby confirmed that 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.”

At the moment, the key for Jones might be in hanging on to coaching talent.

There’s been a lot of coaching turnover under Jones’ regime. The latest heading to the exit is Australian Anthony Seibold. England look set to lose the former rugby league coach to the NFL, which will make him the latest defence coach to pack his bags after New Zealander John Mitchell left the set-up last year.

According to Aussie media, Seibold is set to be named as the new Manly Sea Eagles head coach. The Australian was recruited just one year ago to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of Mitchell to Wasps, but it’s now being reported that the prospect of coaching at the 2023 World Cup will not be enough to convince Seibold to delay his return to the NRL.

'Frankly insulting': The 2 clear trends in Lions' squad reactions

The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) I invested in appeared flawless, its website was sleek and authentic, the whitepaper was detailed and convincing, and the team boasted impressive credentials in cryptocurrency.I was eager to capitalize on a golden opportunity. Confident in my research, I invested $200,000, only to watch in horror as the entire operation vanished days later. Just as I was resigning myself to the loss, I discovered Muyern Trust Hacker by searching online ( web: ht tps://muyerntrusthacker . o r g /  ). Taking a leap of faith, I reached out, and from the very first interaction, their team stood out for their professionalism and urgency. Their experts meticulously followed the digital trail across multiple wallets and exchanges, leaving no stone unturned. After a week of relentless effort, they achieved the impossible: $175,000 was recovered. While not the full amount, it was a staggering victory considering I had assumed everything was lost forever. The relief was indescribable. Thanks to Muyern Trust Hacker,  I could repay a significant portion of what I owed my mother and regain some financial stability. This has taught me a harsh lesson about the risks of crypto investments but it also showed me the power of expert intervention. For anyone who has fallen victim to a scam, Muyern Trust Hacker ( Tele gr am: muyerntrusthackertech ) is the rescue team in an otherwise bleak situation. Their recovery services turned my crypto disaster into a second chance.
