(Reuters) - England must rethink their strategy for picking front rowers if they are to overcome their Rugby World Cup disappointment and win the tournament in 2023, former national team coach Clive Woodward has said.

Woodward said former World Cup winning scrum coach Phil Keith-Roach had told coach Eddie Jones of his concerns about the front row prior to the tournament in Japan, where England were beaten by South Africa in the final.
