Teague mentored Itoje, above, during his time at Harrow School

Eddie Jones has added the man who mentored Maro Itoje during his school days to his full-time England coaching team before the RBS Six Nations Championship.

Rory Teague, who coached Itoje during his time at Harrow School, has been appointed as skills coach by Jones after he was targeted by Northampton Saints to fill their vacancy left by the departure of Alex King.

Teague was part of the coaching team who guided England Under-20 to the World Championship win in the summer and he was then drafted into the senior set-up for the autumn international campaign.

Jones has hailed Teague as “a good, young coach” who “wants to get better” GARETH FULLER/PA

Northampton’s approach for Teague prompted Jones to offer him a full-time job with the senior England team where the 31-year-old will work alongside Paul Gustard (defence), Steve Borthwick (forwards)
