Brian Moore calls for English head coach

Former England hooker Brian Moore urges the RFU to appoint an Englishman as Stuart Lancaster's successor.

Former England hooker Brian Moore has called on the Rugby Football Union to appoint an Englishman as Stuart Lancaster's successor.

Lancaster stepped down from his role as head coach of the national team by mutual consent this afternoon following a disastrous Rugby World Cup campaign that saw the host nation exit at the group stage for the first time ever.

The likes of Michael Cheika, Joe Schmidt and Eddie Jones are among those to have been linked with the role, but Moore hopes to see the top job go to another Englishman.

"It's difficult because I don't necessarily know who's available. People keep saying to go get him, him or him and I say 'well, he's got a job already'. If it can be, I would prefer this to happen - the head coach is English," he told talkSPORT.

"That's because if you don't have an English head coach, it says to all the coaches who are English and working their way up through the system, you will not get the job unless you go abroad and coach internationally first. I don't think that's particularly good.

"But, at least as a number two and someone who has a major impact in the whole of the next campaign, someone has to be from the Southern Hemisphere, with Super 15 experience and rugby championship. No longer can we go on believing we can do this on our own because it's brought us one World Cup out of eight."

RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie has insisted that he will not rush into making a decision over Lancaster's replacement, with England not due to meet up again until January.
