England’s unconditional backing of head coach Eddie Jones in the wake of another failed Guinness Six Nations is seen as “dishonest” by retired internationals Ugo Monye and Sam Warburton.

A Rugby Football Union spokesperson said on Sunday that “we are encouraged by the solid progress the team has made during this Six Nations” in an attempt to end any uncertainty over Jones’ future.
