Eddie Jones' England sacking branded 'big mistake' - "Silliest thing they could do"

Former Australia star Matt Giteau has branded England' s decision to sack Eddie Jones a 'big mistake' and the 'silliest thing they could do'. Jones was relieved from his role as head coach earlier this week following an underwhelming recent period.

England had seemingly hit a stale patch under the guidance of the Australian, having won just five of 12 Test matches in 2022. The sacking came following a review into the team's dismal Autumn internationals.

Jones' team won just one of four matches in the Autumn period, which included a shock defeat to underdogs Argentina at Twickenham last month.
