Former England head coach Eddie Jones has opened up on the bitter ending in the role which saw him sacked and replaced by Steve Borthwick.
Jones was determined to lead England into this year's World Cup in France, but RFU bosses had other ideas after a poor autumn international campaign saw them finish 2022 with just five wins from 12 Tests. A 27-13 defeat against a weakened South Africa team was the final straw with fans booing the side off and Jones subsequently sacked.
Jones has now revealed he knew the writing was on the wall when the RFU review panel met after the Springboks defeat and the Australian felt he had lost support from his bosses.
