Overview
- Gloucester confirmed Mitchell will spend time with the club’s coaching group in November to improve tackle and collision effectiveness within their wider defensive plan.
- The club said his support is unpaid and explicitly not a consultancy position.
- Reporting suggests the involvement will be brief and likely limited to a few sessions during the men’s Test window.
- Mitchell remains England head coach through the next Six Nations, with no internationals until April, which provides the availability for this stint.
- Gloucester have lost their first five Premiership matches and conceded 190 points, highlighting the need for defensive improvements.
