Harlequins coach Nick Evans is the latest new face to join the England coaching staff, though the New Zealander is currently scheduled to work under Steve Borthwick only for the duration of the Six Nations championship, the RFU said on Friday.

Evans will work as attack coach during the tournament, with England kicking off at home to Scotland on February 4th, though he will continue to work with Quins, who are based a few hundred metres from Twickenham, during the tournament's fallow weeks.

Borthwick took over from Eddie Jones at the end of last year and has already made a series of changes to the coaching set-up, bringing in defensive coach Kevin Sinfield and releasing forwards coach Matt Proudfoot. Current attack coach Martin Gleeson remains in his position.
