Eddie Jones is set to be sacked on Tuesday with Steve Borthwick in line to replace him as England rugby coach.
Jones, who is contracted through to the World Cup, made his case to continue at a meeting with Rugby Football union boss Bill Sweeney and a panel of unnamed ‘experts’.
The RFU refused to comment afterwards but it appears the Australian’s tumultuous six-year reign will be brought to an end when the Board meets to pass judgement.
