Andrew, the RFU's director of elite rugby, will report to his bosses at Twickenham on Thursday in an attempt to explain why England have sacked two coaches - Andy Robinson and Brian Ashton - in less than 18 months as well as appointing eight captains and losing most of their 54 Tests since 2003.

Andrew said: "When the edifice fell over after the 2003 World Cup, there was nothing behind it. To achieve long-term success, structures have to be put in place but there was no evidence of any when I started in this job two years ago."

While avoiding mentioning Sir Clive, Andrew added: "Without naming names, the 2003 World Cup coaching team effectively left no legacy. The elite end of the sport was in a terrible state."
