El-Abd steps up to replace Jones

Former Bristol flanker El-Abd, 44, will start work ahead of the autumn campaign, which begins against New Zealand on November 2.

He will also continue as Oyonnax boss until the end of the season.

“I am excited by the direction in which this England team is headed and where they want to go under Steve Borthwick’s leadership,” said El-Abd. “His enthusiasm is infectious, and his vision for this team is clear.

“Defence is a huge part of the game and it’s something I’m extremely passionate about.”
