Catt will join Stuart Lancaster’s backroom team next week after completing his duties with London Irish after their final Aviva Premiership match against Gloucester on Saturday.

The RFU have turned to Catt after revealing Wayne Smith, who had been offered a coaching role on a long-term basis, will remain in New Zealand for family reasons.
