Edwards: I would enjoy England role
Wales defence coach Shaun Edwards would relish the opportunity of joining England's coaching staff one day - but is not thinking about that possibility for the time being.
The former Great Britain rugby league star signed a new deal over the weekend to remain with the Welsh Rugby Union for at least another four years, in a role that also allows him to work for an Aviva Premiership club on a part-time basis.
He wrote in his column in the Guardian: "The Ts have been crossed and the Is dotted, so for the next four years, until at least the 2015 World Cup in England, I'll be with Wales. Adds a bit of spice to life doesn't it? But there are bound to be those who say: 'Why not England?' Well, the simple answer is that they didn't ask."
He added: "Some time, a bit further down the line, there may come a time when I get to wear the red rose. It is something I would enjoy because, after all, I'm English and representing your country is what you aspire to. However, at the moment I don't want to talk about England.
"I did get a few other calls once it became known that I was a free agent but since the day I left their employ, Wales and the WRU chief executive Roger Lewis have been perfectly professional about getting me back on board."
