There have been a few good Eddie Jones stories going round the grounds lately. Joe Simpson told one the other day about the time Jones gave a steak to one of his assistant coaches as an apology for shouting at him.

Jones asked for his number, rang him up and had a long chat with him about his illness, then sent him a Christmas present.
