Martin Haag resigns as England U20 Head Coach

Martin Haag will leave the Rugby Football Union after resigning from his position as Head Coach of the England Under 20 side.

Haag took up the role at the end of last season ahead of the World Rugby U20 Championships in Manchester which saw England win the trophy after beating Ireland 45-21 in the final.

“I have really enjoyed my time with the RFU and being involved in winning the World Rugby U20 Championship on home soil in Manchester," said Haag.

"The squad and management did a fantastic job in an incredibly short amount of time to win, and I am very proud of that achievement.

“However I have decided to move on. I wish all of the players, coaches and management the best for this season ahead of the Six Nations and World Rugby U20 Championship in Georgia."   

The RFU will begin recruiting for the role with immediate effect.
