# Rugby: Lee Blackett and Byron McGuigan will join Steve Borthwick’s England coaching team for the upcoming tour to Argentina and the USA in July. Blackett will step in to replace Richard Wigglesworth while he is on duty as an assistant coach with the British and Irish Lions in Australia. McGuigan will work alongside Joe El-Abd as assistant defence coach. Borthwick says both Blackett and McGuigan have a mindset and approach to their coaching that very much align with how he wants the team to continue playing.
