Eddie Jones 'wants to switch codes' and coach NRL side South Sydney Rabbitohs

England head coach Eddie Jones will take his career in a new direction following the 2023 Rugby World Cup, when he could leave rugby union behind altogether.

That's after fresh rumours emerged linking the 62-year-old with National Rugby League (NRL) outfit the South Sydney Rabbitohs. The Sydney Morning Herald reported Jones is ready to depart the 15-a-side code in favour of a move to league, but only with the club he grew up supporting as a boy.

The former Australia coach is contracted with the Red Rose until November 2023, with no clear sign as to whom England will appoint as his successor just yet. There had been talk Jones could be replaced prior to the tournament, though the recent series win in Australia appears to have subsided that speculation.
