Eddie Jones admits three key mistakes with England as he reflects on sacking

Former England coach Eddie Jones has outlined three mistakes during his time in charge of the national side.

Following a dismal run of results, the RFU review panel met last month and opted to relieve the Australian of his duties. Under Jones' tutelage, England reached the 2019 World Cup final and won three Six Nations titles, including a Grand Slam in 2016.

But 2022 has seen a change in fortunes as the team produced its worst results since 2008 - including a return of just five victories in the last 12 Tests. Reflecting on his tenure, Jones, 62, wondered if he was too soft on the players. “There’s this perception I’m a raving lunatic,” he told the Guardian.
