"As a player that takes all the anxieties away, the pressure gets released when you get put in an environment like that and you are able to express yourself. With England assistant coach Richard Cockerill noting: "We've got to make sure we turn up and do what we need to do to make sure we’re in the game and competing to win. "They have some incredible players and incredible coaches with Steve (Borthwick) in there and when they get three or four months together in the build-up to a World Cup, England are always going to be dangerous.

In truth, once he was firmly installed, he never had any true challengers for his job such is the extent of his consistent excellence. The discipline and structure of the job appealed to him when he first began his police training around two years ago. Jonathan’s career is naturally the one he was probably visualising all along, but that wasn’t the one he got. “I still have it now and I had a scan when I was at Doncaster. He then got the senior cup coaching job and then the Mary’s senior job. He had a good playing career but he always had issues with the leg.
