Ashton says no
BRIAN Ashton has rejected the Rugby Football Union's offer to become their national academy head coach.
Ashton, who led England to the 2007 World Cup final, will, however, provide "a range of high-level performance consultancy services" for the RFU. This renewable annual contract is for Ashton's own company, SCD South West Limited.
Ashton said: "I have given full and careful consideration over the last two months to my future career plans, and have decided to develop my own company delivering high-level performance processes in all areas of sporting and business life.
"I now consider it the correct time to develop more varied challenges than just dealing with professional rugby."
