Eddie Jones felt England sacking “was coming” as he refuses to rule out Australia move

Former England rugby coach Eddie Jones has said he felt his sacking was “coming” but that he “wouldn’t do anything differently”, in his first UK interview since his departure.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Jones also revealed he is in talks with other countries about coaching their national teams. The Australian, 62, was dismissed by England earlier this month after a poor run of form.

Jones said he could feel the mood change from his bosses at the RFU during England’s matches in the autumn. England finished with a heavy loss to South Africa, as the team suffered its worst calendar year since 2008.
