October 10, 2025

NEW attack coach Lee Blackett is convinced he has enough time to give England the tools needed to challenge for the 2027 World Cup.

- By DUNCAN BECH

Blackett left Bath at the end of last month to join Steve Borthwick’s revamped coaching team with the autumn series opener against Australia on November 1 the first of around 21 Tests before Australia 2027.

The 42-year-old former Wasps boss will take charge of the attack after impressing in the role as a temporary appointment during the successful summer tour to Argentina and the USA when Richard Wigglesworth was on British and Irish Lions duty.

Now that the halfway mark of the current World Cup cycle has been reached, planning for the tournament ramps up, but Blackett understands the danger of looking beyond the Wallabies’ visit to Allianz Stadium.
