Eddie Jones breaks silence on England exit and potential rugby league switch

Former England coach Eddie Jones has spoken out after losing his job last week. Following a dismal run of results, the RFU review panel met last Monday afternoon and decided to relieve the Australian of his duties the following morning.

Steve Borthwick has been tipped to take the reins, with Kevin Sinfield rumoured to join him and take up the role of the team’s defence coach. Moving forward, Jones has now revealed how open-minded he is regarding a potential switch to rugby league.

“In this job I’ve learnt it’s impossible to avoid being moved on. It comes with the gig. But I’m proud of what we accomplished in my time here [with England] and I wish I had the opportunity to finish what I started,” the 62-year-old told Rugby Pass.
