“Shaun Edwards commits to Argentina as defence coach through 2027 Rugby World Cup, ending E” — what this page in the network covers. Shaun Edwards, one of rugby’s most respected defence coaches, has signed a contract with Argentina that runs until after the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia. The deal ends speculation about a possible reunion with England head coach Steve Borthwick, with whom Edwards worked at Wasps. Edwards, 57, has been with France since 2020, helping them win the 2022 Six Nations Grand Slam, but will now join Los Pumas after the 2023 World Cup.
Argentina reached the semi-finals in 2007 and 2015 and will hope Edwards’ defensive expertise can elevate them further on the world stage. The move underscores Argentina’s ambition to compete consistently with rugby’s top nations. Edwards’ decision also leaves England seeking alternative coaching options as they build toward the next World Cup cycle.
