Mike Catt, Andy Farrell and Graham Rowntree left the England rugby coaching staff.

England's coaching overhaul gathered pace Monday with the departures of Mike Catt, Andy Farrell and Graham Rowntree after a poor performance at the Rugby World Cup.

Stuart Lancaster, England's head coach at the World Cup, was fired last month just a year into his six-year deal, and replaced by Eddie Jones.

British media have reported that Jones will ask former England captain Steve Borthwick to be his assistant, rekindling the partnership the two shared at the World Cup with Japan.

On Sunday, English club Saracens said its defence and forwards coach, Paul Gustard, was considering the offer of a role as assistant coach in England's new regime.

Under Lancaster and his coaching team, England finished second in every Six Nations campaign from 2012 to 2015.

They were widely criticised for their selections and tactics during the World Cup in September and October, when England lost to Wales and Australia to become the first host team to fail to advance from the pool stage.

Jones will look to finalise his coaching team before his first match in charge, against Scotland in the Six Nations Championship on February 6.
