LONDON (Reuters) - England defence coach Paul Gustard has been named head of rugby at Premiership club Harlequins, leaving Eddie Jones with another headache 16 months before the Rugby World Cup.

Gustard, who has worked with Jones since he took charge of England at the end of 2015, will join the club after England's three-test tour of South Africa next month and will have a hands-on coaching role.
