MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Former National Rugby League (NRL) star and England assistant Brett Hodgson has been appointed defence coach of Australia, linking up with Eddie Jones after their partnership at Twickenham was nixed by Jones's sacking in December.

Hodgson was to join up with Jones at England after the autumn internationals but left the role in January after Steve Borthwick replaced the Australian head coach.
