It is the latest report linking the 48-year-old New Zealander to the England top job after RFU boss Bill Sweeney opened the door on the prospect of another non-English coach replacing incumbent Jones after the 2023 World Cup.

Robertson has recently expressed interest in the England post, despite his preference to take over Ian Foster’s role with the All Blacks.
