England should forge a formidable backroom team by appointing not one but three head coaches, according to Lawrence Dallaglio.

On the eve of Eddie Jones officially taking office, Dallaglio believes England should raid the Aviva Premiership to install two home-grown sidekicks to work on a par with the new boss. New head coach Jones officially starts work on Tuesday, with Dallaglio calling on the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to build its future "succession plan" now.

World Cup winner Dallaglio insists that means recruiting experienced English club bosses like Exeter's Rob Baxter or Northampton's Jim Mallinder to Jones' backroom staff.

"There's nothing wrong with having two or three head coaches working together, of which Eddie Jones is obviously the leader of that group," Dallaglio told Press Association Sport speaking as a Land Rover ambassador. "I'm sure there are plenty of ideas about who might work with the team, but I also think we need to invest in some number ones.

"If Eddie Jones had two directors of rugby from Premiership clubs sat alongside him, working with him, I think that would be a pretty good start. What's pretty clear is that England need to over-invest in their coaching set-up, because they haven't really had a succession plan for the last 12 years.

"That may involve actually bringing in and investing in some of the top Premiership coaches now, and allowing those guys to sit alongside Eddie Jones for the next four years. Obviously there would be a lot of clubs saying they don't want to lose their director of rugby.

"So the likes of Rob Baxter at Exeter, Dean Ryan at Worcester or Jim Mallinder at Northampton, whoever they might be, they don't want to lose their director of rugby and I understand that.

"But at the end of the day the success of the national team should be paramount, because everything ladders down from that."
