World Cup-winning former England coach Sir Clive Woodward has said that former New Zealand coach Graham Henry may not be the right man to replace Martin Johnson, despite his recent success.

Henry led New Zealand to World Cup victory last month, but Woodward believes that there are English candidates who should be considered first.

"I'd be looking for almost an entrepreneurial person to say 'how can we take this to a new level? Can we get Twickenham back really excited about this team?'" Woodward told Sky Sports News.

"I've got nothing against foreign coaches but I'm very clear on what it takes to become the head coach of England and what skill set you need. You could have an inexperienced coach, as long as you interview him properly, as long he's got the skill set.

"My experience is that when people are given the chances, they can step up to the plate. There's various English coaches around who, given the chance, could actually blow you away. We don't have to assume Graham Henry is the right person."
