Forwards coach at Northampton Saints and former England rugby union player.
Pollock’s Northampton Saints contract talks have progressed but remain unresolved as the 21-year-old England back row continues to weigh offers from overseas and other opportunities. Saints remain optimistic of an extension as negotiations involve complex moving parts and potential pay rises amid a shifting salary cap landscape.
England’s head coach Steve Borthwick has had his contract extended past the 2028 Six Nations to avoid uncertainty ahead of next year’s Rugby World Cup in Australia. The RFU says the move provides time to decide leadership beyond the tournament, while emphasising continued backing if England perform at the World Cup. Meanwhile, the organisation is expanding sponsorship revenue as it recalibrates post-Six Nations.
