Eddie Jones has hit back at "sad" predecessor Clive Woodward after the World Cup winning coach suggested he'd presided over the "worst week in English rugby history."
England finished the Autumn International series with just one win to their name, opening up with a 30-29 defeat to Argentina before a comfortable 52-13 triumph over Japan. A thrilling fightback against New Zealand then salvaged a 25-25 draw, but the campaign ended on a deflating note, the Red Roses outclassed by South Africa to go down 27-13 in a repeat of the 2019 Rugby World Cup final.
Woodward, who famously presided over England's only World Cup win in 2003, has been a frequent critic of his former rival. And he's even called for Jones - who will leave his role when his contract expires at the end of 2023 - to be sacked if the side loses their opening Six Nations game against Scotland in February.
