Eddie Jones, the most successful rugby coach England has ever had, was today sacked from his job.
The Australian, who won 73 per cent of matches in charge, met with Rugby Football Union boss Bill Sweeney at Twickenham this morning to be told the news.
Richard Cockerill takes interim charge, ahead of the expected appointment of Steve Borthwick as Jones’ successor. Seven years and 16 days after taking the job following England’s home World Cup flop, Jones left the home of English rugby for the last time in a black Mercedes.
