Former World Cup boss, Clive Woodward, said it was "almost desperate" that Andy Farrell was not part of the English coaching group.
It was announced yesterday that the Irish coach at the defense would succeed Joe Schmidt as the Irish head coach when the New Zealander will "end up" with rugby after the 2019 edition of the Webb Ellis Cup.
"With Andy Farrell succeeding Joe Schmidt after the World Cup next year, you can only conclude that Ireland's win is the loss of England," said Woodward, writing in the Daily Mail.
"First of all, congratulations, once again, to Ireland for the intelligent and intelligent management of their succession of coaches.
"As for England missing a brilliant local coach, I'm almost desperate – Farrell has always been an outstanding player, a great player and a coach with tremendous potential."
Farrell was part of the English coaching team of Stuart Lancaster, now in Leinster, but left the post when Eddie Jones took over from the team after the host country did not managed to qualify for the round of 16 in 2015.
"Yes, he was part of the team of coaches who failed to deliver at the last World Cup, but where is Twickenham's common thought of coaching?" Woordward asked.
"Every national coach or badistant coach, as was Farrell, will at some point be badociated with failure.
"Eddie Jones, Graham Henry, Steve Hansen, Warren Gatland, myself, and many others went there and received the t-shirt, but that did not make us bad coaches.
"In fact, this losing experience may be the manufacture of a coach and, in recent seasons, Ireland has profited mbadively from Farrell's fierce efforts with England.
"Farrell's reactions with England have always been positive, so where was the need to abandon him after the World Cup?"
At the same time, Sam Burgess claimed that "individual egos" and "selfish players" had contributed to the fall of England in the World Cup four years ago.
In a series of tweets on Tuesday, the star of rugby league Burgess, who won five caps for England in 2015 – including three at the World Cup – during a stint with the Bath's Premiership club, has been criticized following social media criticism about its role in this tournament.
Burgess tweeted: "It seems like I'm getting some tweets about WC Rugby in 2015 … Still, if people were to see the games I've played, you'll see I'm part of the team. What cost us an early exit was individual egos and selfish players who do not follow our leader ….
"It basically costs the coach and the other big men, the tournaments are not won by the coaching staff or by a single player.It needs a commitment from the group.I guarantee you, I am I was engaged, but others had their own agenda.I have good memories of my time in the UK
"And great friends One day I will tell my story, but for now, I love to watch @EnglandRugby and I can not wait to see them as they prepare for the 2019 CM at Japan."
Burgess returned to the rugby league after the 2015 World Cup, signing a lucrative deal with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
