       I mean this has all been very interesting but it was all based
       on misreading Kitson's article.
       He literally said "should". The sentence starts with Vesty being
       the strong candidate and then he gives his opinion, just a
       random shout, he doesn't even claim it's based on any inside
       info.
       And it's Vesty, like he said.
       It was a throwaway paragraph.

       Nev or Vesty seem like they've had the most success at club
       level in England over the last two or three seasons.  However,
       we've gone from being utterly ruthless in the opposition 22 (in
       our league-winning season), to being pretty wasteful this
       season.
       Having said that, an attack coach is only one cog in the
       coaching machine and I would think (having never coached) the
       success of whoever gets the job would be massively dependent on
       how the head coach and other coaches want to set the team up.
       If the defence coach wants to organise the team for relentless
       kick chasing from anywhere in our own half, then he's not going
       to want the attack coach to be looking at keeping the ball in
       hand unless territory is already massively in our favour - that
       in turn reduces the backfield space and chances for someone like
       Marcus to manipulate defenders and get wingers forward into the
       line for kicks in behind or pin them back and work the edges.
       Given Borthwick's former ties and how utterly dominant they have
       been this season, I'm surprised he didn't just nab all the
       Sarries coaching team (shame).

       Vesty has the Tigers connection and I think NEv's approach is
       very much based on the Quins "style" which is not likely to be
       Borthwick's preferred gameplan. I also don't know how much NEv
       wants to coach a team to play a more negative style of rugby...
       I suspect the wastefulness is in part down to the lack of
       carrying power and the lack of Marcus Smith for the majority of
       the season!

       On the plus side for Quins, it looks like Ford and Farrell will
       be picked ahead of Smith

       Flats and Shanks (specifically Flats) reckon Gleeson was well
       respected by the players but held back by other coaches so he’s
       being retained. Along with Cockerill.

       Times article seems to say it could be only for 6 nations. I
       couldn't read the whole article but that's what the opening
       paras said

       See what happens after the 6N if true, of course. Maybe that was
       the thinking behind big Chis staying on in a coaching capacity?

       Confirmed.
       Harlequins can confirm that Attack and Backs Coach Nick Evans
       will link up with the England Rugby team during their 2023 Six
       Nations campaign on a short-term contract.
       With England’s Six Nations bye weeks falling on weekends of
       Harlequins’ matches, Evans will return to club duty part-time
       throughout the Six Nations campaign ahead of the Club’s matches
       against Gloucester Rugby and Exeter Chiefs in the Gallagher
       Premiership.
       Evans will return to Harlequins full-time following the
       conclusion of the 2023 Six Nations.
       Commenting, Harlequins’ Director of Rugby Performance Billy
       Millard said: “This is an amazing opportunity for Nick, where he
       will learn and grow so much, which can only be good for the
       Club. I am also confident he will provide Steve and the playing
       group with excellent support and direction through the 2023 Six
       Nations period.”
