Saracens head coach Andy Farrell has turned down the chance to permanently become a part of Stuart Lancaster's coaching team with England.

Saracens and the RFU had been in negotiations after Stuart Lancaster confirmed he wanted Farrell to become a part of his coaching team following his stint in the interim coaching team for the Six Nations.

However, Farrell has declined England's offer and has opted to stay with Aviva Premiership champions Saracens where his son Owen Farrell plays domestic rugby.
