Eddie Jones still has the full backing of the RFU in the wake of England’s disappointing Six Nations campaign.
England were beaten by Grand Slam winners France on Saturday night, meaning they won just two of their five games at this year’s Championship.
That came in the wake of England finishing fifth last year, but the RFU have backed Jones and said there was “solid progress” during the Six Nations.
Jones, who is under contract until after next year’s World Cup, has insisted his team will peak next year and he is excited about the future.
“Eddie Jones is building a new England team and against a clear strategy we are encouraged by the solid progress the team has made during this Six Nations campaign,” an RFU spokesperson said.
“Eddie and his team of coaches and players will conduct a full review as is normal after each tournament.
“The RFU advisory panel which consists of board and executive members, former players and coaches along with Eddie will also undertake a de-brief to discuss the strong positive steps forward during this campaign and the areas we need to address.
“The advisory group has been in place since 2019 and it meets regularly both during and after each tournament to evaluate clear targets and progression.
“The RFU continues to fully support Eddie, the coaching team and players and we are excited about the summer tour and the progress to rebuild a winning England team.”
