Eddie Jones 'expects to be sacked' as England boss in crunch RFU meeting next week

Eddie Jones is reportedly expecting to lose his job as the coach of the England rugby union team. The 62-year-old will have a crunch meeting with RFU bosses early next week following a string of poor results for the national side.

The Australian has had the support of the RFU since he took over in November 2015, but it has certainly wavered recently due to a disappointing autumn campaign. Although no decision has been made on Jones’ future yet, the Australian is fearing the worst, according to MailOnline.

RFU Chief executive Bill Sweeney will make a recommendation to the RFU board on Tuesday, after which a decision will be finalised. An urgent and forensic inquest is ongoing following just one win in November and an annual return of just five victories in 12 Tests. Last Saturday England lost 27-13 to the reigning world champions South Africa who were missing some of their best players at Twickenham on Saturday.
