Senior assistant coach Richard Wigglesworth has admitted that he has had no contact with exiled colleague Felix Jones as England prepare to take on the Irishman’s former employers, South Africa.
Former defence coach Jones is serving a 12-month notice period after handing in his resignation in August. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) and head coach Steve Borthwick explained after his departure that he would continue to provide “specific projects regarding analysis” remotely from Ireland during that time.
