Eddie Jones insisted on key change to RFU statement before being sacked as England coach

Eddie Jones insisted that a key change was made to the RFU statement telling fans that he had been 'dismissed' from his role as England head coach.

The Daily Mail have reported that Jones was adamant that the words 'dismissed' was used instead of the RFU's preferred term of 'parted ways'. The Australian was the most successful England have ever had after 59 wins from 81 Tests but was given his marching orders yesterday after a poor run of form in the Autumn internationals.

In a headline statement from the RFU the wording was: " Following a review of the Autumn, Eddie Jones has been dismissed from the position of England men's head coach."
