Shaun Wane: Former Wigan boss to replace Wayne Bennett as England coach

It is understood that South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Bennett has been notified of the impending appointment.Bennett, who guided England to the World Cup final in 2017, was keen to stay on in the job for the next tournament in England in 2021.

But Great Britain's autumn tour of New Zealand and Papua Guinea did not go well, ending in a 4-0 autumn series defeat - and Bennett's RFL contract ran out at the end of that tour. Wane may have just four matches to prepare England for the next World Cup - a proposed mid-season international in June prior to the three-match Ashes series with Australia in October and November.'Doubts over Bennett emerged on Great Britain tour'When Wayne Bennett was initially appointed as England coach, the assumption was that he would take the job through to the 2021 World Cup.

All looked to be going to plan when he took the national team to the final of the 2017 World Cup in Australia, losing to a solitary try from the Kangaroos.But doubts about Bennett's style, and the direction the team might be taken, began to surface in last year's tour by Great Britain to New Zealand and Papua New Guinea when the rugby league Lions lost all four games against the Kiwis, Tonga and PNG.

But he'll have to hit the ground running. With no mid-season Test confirmed yet, his first match in charge is likely to be against Australia in the Ashes series this autumn.

Proud. Good luck to him

A waning Wayne replaced by a winning Wane...

He fostered a lot of self belief and home town pride into the team while he was there, lets hope he can put national pride into the England side.

Uh huh.....

Great leg-spinner
