Ashton has a rolling contract which comes up for review at the end of the year, and so far the Rugby Football Union's director of elite rugby, Rob Andrew, has refused to make a decision until after a review of the World Cup campaign has been conducted.

"There are system changes that need to be made - whether that's personnel is not my decision," Dallaglio told BBC's Inside Sport. "Everything isn't rosy just because we got to a World Cup final."

He added: "It's been an interesting couple of weeks.

"There's been no new contracts dished out yet. You need to ask Rob Andrew really - ultimately it's his job to decide where English rugby goes."

Asked directly whether Ashton should be involved after Christmas, Dallaglio replied: "Brian Ashton turned things around, but then again so have the players and all the coaches.

"I think a review will be done, by the right people. Rob will head it up and I'm sure he'll make the right decisions."
