Eddie Jones has been warned by the RFU that he could yet be a victim of 'Project Everest' ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The term is the name given to the organisation's long-term plan to eventually replace the Australian, who has been head coach of England since 2015 and took the side to the World Cup final in Japan three years ago. The project involves developing young Premiership coaches as well as identifying the 62-year-old's successor.
Jones is under extreme pressure following England's poor showing in the Six Nations again, losing to Scotland in the opening game before recording wins over Italy and Wales. A record home defeat to Ireland saw them confined to third place before they even kicked off on the final weekend in Paris though, where they were beaten by France as Les Blues sealed the Grand Slam.
